Amid the success, our family of companies has stayed true to its principles. We value mutual trust, diligence, visionary thinking, and cohesion. Managing partners Manfred Grundke , Alexander Knauf and Jörg Kampmeyer uphold these values in everything they do. Regardless of the structure, project, or building project – Knauf makes it happen. For its customers. And together with its customers.

KNAUF IN ASIA PACIFIC

Knauf’s venture into Asia began in the 1990s and has ever since expanded its operations to become a leading brand trusted by customers. The acquisition of USG Boral in 2021 only added to Knauf’s strength and capabilities to become the best supplier for customers.

Knauf’s aim is to be the market leader for safe, healthy, and comfortable design of living spaces. With the most experienced, talented, and diversified people operating over 30 production facilities across the region, we deliver the high-quality products required for the construction of sustainable, safe and comfortable buildings. With an extensive distribution and sales network, our dedicated teams provide expertise backed by unparalleled quality service to provide the right solutions for your needs.

At Knauf, we are committed to deliver only the best to you – our customers and partners.

THE FOUR KNAUF VALUES

In 2012 these values were reworded and set down as a type of inner compass, which is applicable to the entire Knauf Group. The values, which build on the mission and vision of the company, were developed in cooperation with the Knauf family, who initiated this process.

MENSCHLICHKEIT

We view ourselves, our clients and everybody else involved in our actions as part of one big family. We stand for justice, integrity and respect when dealing with each other. As a role model for society, we are socially committed and treat our environment with respect.

PARTNERSHIP

We trust each other and can rely on each other. As a team, we support each other wherever possible. We are reliable and loyal.

COMMITMENT

We assume responsibility for our work and consider the effects of our decisions. We are fully committed to providing solutions and products of the highest quality. We continue developing for our joint success and share our knowledge.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

We act pragmatically, are result-oriented and use our opportunities. Thanks to its Entrepreneurship, Knauf has developed from a family business to a globally active group of companies owned by a family. With a pioneering spirit, innovation, and readiness to accept change, we create continuous growth.
