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 voted Supplier of the Year 2018
VTH elects the Supplier of the Year – and the winner is NORRES!
Every year since 1984, VTH – the professional association for industrial distributors in Germany, Austria and Switzerland – has conducted a survey to determine the “Supplier of the Year”; all industrial distributors who are VTH members are invited to assess their main suppliers for a particular product group on the basis of standardised evaluation criteria. The product category which is surveyed varies from year to year, to enable the complete spectrum to be covered. The product group chosen for 2018 was “Industrial Hoses (Any Material)”. The survey is designed to provide an impression of each supplier’s strengths and weaknesses concerning their cooperation with the industrial distributors for the relevant product category1. The distributers not only voted NORRES as their “Supplier of the Year, they also gave NORRES the best result in the 34 year-long history of this award.
What sets NORRES apart?
We would like to thank all industrial distributors who voted for us as their “Supplier of the Year” in the Industrial Hoses category; we see this award as added motivation to continue focusing projects for, and together with, our distributors in the future.
We received a lot of positive feedback regarding our implementation of innovative and distributor oriented projects such as the EDI interface, order tracking, electronic data, the marking of parcel and pallet goods, our extended opening hours and the discounted shipping rates.
Apart from optimised processes, we were also highly praised for our ongoing improvements to existing products as well as for brand new innovations by the NORRES Group like the NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD and the CLAMP 210 BRIDGE CLAMP.
