KNAUF is a synonym for gypsum among construction experts around the globe.
This association of a building material with a manufacturer’s name is not just coincidence, it is the result of decades of hard work resulting in consistently high quality. Our group of companies had comparatively humble beginnings.
The family company was established in 1932 when brothers Alfons and Karl Knauf secured the mining rights to gypsum deposits in the Schengen community (Obermosel) in Germany. Knauf currently supplies modern insulation materials, drylining systems, plasters and accessories, thermal insulation composite systems, paints, floor screed, floor systems, and construction equipment and tools through 150 production facilities and sales organizations in over 60 countries.
