NRS Relief

About us NRS Relief is a family-run business that manufactures innovative, high quality and cost-effective core relief items and multi-purpose shelters. We are trusted by humanitarian aid organisations to deliver the products required to help those in need. Put simply, in times of natural disaster or humanitarian crisis, we are your partner that can be relied upon to achieve your mission, whatever the challenges.

Over the past four decades, NRS Relief, part of NRS International, has developed an enviable range of core relief products and aid essentials designed to respond to any situation. Our newly launched Relief Support Structures division continues this tradition by pioneering multi-purpose tents for medical, educational, logistic and management support use.

You can rest assured that whatever product we offer, it is fully compliant with the highest industry standards.

We manufacture what we sell

We fully control our supply chain and manage the entire product development process from manufacturing through to final delivery.

All our products are manufactured by H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons (HSNDS) in Pakistan, our factory that employs 7,000 skilled workers.

After our products leave the factory, our expert logisticians facilitate the transportation of our products by air, sea and land to wherever they are required, as well as maintaining strategic stocks in Dubai and Lahore.

We never stand still

Innovation is in our blood. We work hand in hand with our clients, suppliers and beneficiaries in order to design new solutions and to continually improve our existing products. We are proud that we were the first supplier to offer affordable and fully fire retardant tents and tarpaulins to the humanitarian community, a life-saving innovation which won the Aid Innovation Challenge at AidEx 2014.

We care

Not only is NRS Relief setting a new standard for industry innovation, we are strongly committed to a corporate social responsibility agenda which focuses on our staff, our products and production. Our Bilqees Sarwar Foundation, a non-profit non-government organisation founded by NRS International's chairing family, spearheads extensive charitable activities in Pakistan and beyond.

Global forced displacement

How NRS Relief is committed to provide cost-effective relief essentials

Ongoing wars, political conflicts, earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters are causing a record-high number of people to flee their homes worldwide.

A total of nearly 60 million people were displaced in 2014; an increase of 8.3 million in only one year.

Displaced figures had already reached record-high levels in 2013, exceeding 50 million for the first time since World War II.

At NRS Relief, we respond to global challenges by offering high quality and cost-effective relief products to international agencies, bilateral donors, governments and nongovernmental organisations.

This year our dedicated team worked around the clock to assist our clients and partners around the globe. We have been an active partner during the emergency response operations after the Nepal earthquake, during the Ebola crisis in West Africa, the European refugee crisis, and the ongoing humanitarian crises in the Middle East and in parts of Africa.

NRS Relief makes a difference to 300 nuns in Nepal

On 25 April 2015 a devastating earthquake shook Nepal, taking nearly 9,000 lives and destroying more than 600,000 houses. NRS Relief witnessed its multi-purpose tents being put to inspirational use at the prominent Amitabha monastery in Nepal, making a difference to the lives of 300 nuns.

Since the first earthquake struck, NRS Relief has worked around the clock to assist global aid agencies and international non-governmental organisations with the much needed aid essentials. NRS Relief has supplied a total of 2,000 family tents and multi-purpose shelters, 20,000

Innovation through collaboration

At NRS Relief, we never stop innovating. We strive to pioneer products that meet the needs of the end user and the entire humanitarian community. All our products are the outcome of an extensive product innovation process, often under the guidelines of international agencies, bilateral donors, governments and non-governmental organisations. This results in better quality results, greater client and beneficiary satisfaction and technological breakthroughs that have a real social impact.

Public-private partnerships

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Innovation is dynamic problem-solving among friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

We are proud to be the first supplier to offer affordable and fully fire retardant tents and tarpaulins to the humanitarian community, a life-saving innovation which won the Aid Innovation Challenge at AidEx 2014. This is just one example that has served as a catalyst for progress in the humanitarian supply industry, and will improve the lives of people affected by disasters.

Our product developments are beneficiary-driven, sustainable and evidence-based. The solutions are the outcome of a cross-cutting process in which each individual and/or institution contributes. We follow a cycle of innovation that invites all actors to contribute to the optimal product. This collaboration model is applied to every single relief item that we manufacture, from buckets to blankets, from tents to tarpaulins.

To further strengthen our innovation capacity, we have built strategic public partnerships to jointly develop new products that are beneficial to the humanitarian aid sector. Through these critical partnerships, we continue to cultivate a corporate culture of innovation, learning, evaluation and creativity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we are better able to serve clients and beneficiaries globally.
