Welcome to Knauf
A unique global opportunity
Similar to other global businesses, our 41,500 team members in 90 countries across 300 sites provide a huge opportunity for anyone with ambition and energy.
Unlike other global businesses, you may be surprised that Knauf is still a family-owned and run company and that means that our values and people-first culture are at the forefront of how the business operates.
This means that career with us can offer you something a bit special; family values at the heart combined with global success and influence.

Our history
