Social responsibility
NORRES Schlauchtechnik has a long history of responsible behaviour towards the society we live in. We frequently participate in activities that benefit charitable organisations. We are extremely keen to support projects that help the socially disadvantaged, especially when they involve children. We also make an active contribution towards environmental protection.
NORRES Schlauchtechnik makes regular donations to “Noah's Ark”, a charity that describes itself as “a children’s hospice in the region and for the region”. The Ark’s concept, which is the only one of its kind anywhere in Germany, defines two main functions: to offer a haven for incurably ill children and to act as a short-term care centre for youngsters with severe disabilities. The aim is to assist the families concerned by providing professional care and respite for children and teenagers in the Noah's Ark centre. NORRES traditionally makes a donation to this deserving cause at Christmas.
At NORRES, all people are equal. All our staff benefit from the same opportunities. Their ethnic origin, religion, social background, age, sex or disabilities are considered to be irrelevant. NORRES maintains close links with a centre for handicapped people. Disabled staff carry out their work directly on the NORRES site and are therefore fully integrated in the life of the company.
The sustainable use of natural resources is firmly entrenched in NORRRES Schlauchtechnik's daily work processes. The move to our new “Am Stadthafen” facility coincided with extensive investments in eco-friendly production and HVAC technologies. Efficient insulation, double glazing, centrally controlled air conditioning with water chillers and production utilising heat recovery mean optimal protection for the environment. Since taking possession of the new and completely refurbished plant at the port of Gelsenkirchen in 2009, NORRES has succeeded in reducing the consumption of water, electricity and heating fuel dramatically – despite an almost fourfold increase in floor space.

NORRES Summer Party
Good weather and a fantastic program provided for a great celebration!
On 2 September NORRES Schlauchtechnik’s Summer Party took place. The theme of the Summer party was "Welcome to the Jungle" and the company’s property became a party location from 3 pm until late into the evening.
From 3 pm Burkhard Mollen and Pia König-Mollen welcomed the NORRES team and their families to the "Jungle of NORRES". A colorful program for all ages to participate in all through the afternoon. It started with the children's program, offering a Jungle bounce castle, children's play mats and lots of additional activities even including bull riding. NORRES also offered Company Tours through the production and the administration offices which provided family members insight on what the typical working day looks like of their parents or their partner. Various food trucks and cocktail bars lined the perimeter of the Jungle which aided in providing excellent cuisine and great beverage selections. At 7:00 pm the evening program started with a live act, which then handed over directly to the team of Culture Live – after this the dance floor lit up with excitement into the late evening hours offering great music and dancing.
