The nomenclature of Knauf cases has been introduced

The new year began with several months of joint work in identifying, compiling and systematising Knauf documents. The cooperation resulted in the introduction of the nomenclature of Knauf cases. Its purpose is to make our work more productive and efficient by clearly storing all documentation in one place, according to its category. This factor not only makes it easy to navigate the documentation, but also ensures the continuity of document circulation.

Good works and support

Charity is also still important in Knauf's philosophy – in the spring we donated building materials for the construction of a day centre for people with special needs, as well as financially supported the renovation of the Parents' Home at the Children's Clinical University Hospital.

Staff starts with people. And also continues with them. Of all the structural units of the company, it is the HR department whose work is based on the truest concern for colleagues.
