In June 2014, the 20 employees move into their new offices, 560 m² on two floors. At the end of 2014, this area, including the expansion area, is acquired by KNAPP AG.

The free-moving Open Shuttles are now produced at the location and are completely integrated into the solution portfolio for the core business area industry. The Open Shuttle product portfolio is continuously developed and expanded during this year.
2017

A five-story office building is erected in a short time and a building addition expands the production hall. The location currently offers space for 300 employees.

During my studies, I completed an internship at one of the other subsidiaries and had the opportunity to write my bachelor thesis. It was through this internship that I got access to the KNAPP organization and could work at KNAPP Industry solutions while studying for my master’s. During this period, the company showed me a lot of understanding and flexibility.

I have been responsible for marketing now for seven years and work to my full potential in my job.

In my first three years at KNAPP, I had the privilege of working at installation sites in eight different countries. It was a very exciting time and I learned and experienced a lot. At KNAPP Industry Solutions, I became group leader assigned with helping to develop the Software Installation Department. Another great aspect of my job is that I can easily combine work with my part-time studies in Industrial Management. Drawing on what I learned, I could introduce new ideas to the department, which are highly appreciated and are being implemented.
