On March 31, 2024, the group reported a turnover of 1.8 billion euros (compared to 1.96 billion euros in the previous year). As businesses deal with current challenges such as geopolitical uncertainty, inflation and labour shortages, reliable partnerships and comprehensive system solutions are more important than ever. KNAPP CEO Gerald Hofer explains: “As a group, we combine industry expertise with world-class technology to create intelligent system solutions. This combination is the essence of a resilient supply chain and is essential for success.” Expertise, in turn, is the basis for trust, which is seen in projects with long-term renowned customers such as the Würth Group, the online retailer Zalando and the US supermarket chain Kroger. Along with the construction of new systems, retrofit programmes for existing systems play a major role while making an important contribution to sustainability. Due to the low availability and high cost of land, many companies are choosing to modernise existing locations rather than open new ones. At the same time, continuously expanding their international network – particularly with regards to service and lifetime support – underlines KNAPP’s commitment to putting customer needs at the centre of everything they do. “Our customers can be assured that we will be looking after their systems for a long time,” says Gerald Hofer.
