Today and in the future with Jānis Kraulis, Chairman of the Board of Knauf

This year is a landmark year for Knauf. In our 100-year strategy, we have clearly defined what we want to be in 8 years' time, when Knauf will celebrate 100 years worldwide in 2032. “From a family company to a family of companies” – that's how proud we are of Knauf's global growth and yet still strong alignment with our original values. Our values are like the roots of a tree, the foundation of a house that we build together with future generations in mind. “Make tomorrow a home for all of us” is the promise and the overarching goal that each of us finds in our work every day, and together we are building an environment friendly to future generations.

Our business results are not just a lucky coincidence – they are the result of careful and planned work, overcoming various global obstacles and market volatility, where you, our employees, play the most important role.

Knauf's strategy also starts with people – with health and safety, employee engagement and sustainable succession. Nothing is more important than working safely, and we are not willing to compromise on safety.

Our customers are our value and together we are committed to providing our customers with the best experience throughout the entire product acquisition cycle by developing and improving all processes, including digitising the document flow as much as possible.

This year, we will again ask our customers to evaluate their cooperation with us in order to identify the necessary improvements in customer service.

Sustainability, which is now a household word, actually means the very specific and significant actions we, as a manufacturer, intend to take to reduce CO2 emissions. Our future, which we build every day, is unthinkable without concrete action today. With future generations in mind, we continue to invest in factory modernisation projects that allow us to produce more efficiently, conserve energy resources and protect the environment.

A noteworthy event is expected for the Latvian organization of Knauf this year – we are approaching the third decade, which marks an important stage in the development of Knauf. We are proud to be a great employer of great employees!
