OUR VALUES

How important is the culture of a business to you? For us, the way we behave and the principles by which we operate are a core foundation to the company. Our 4 Values are like a thread that links all colleagues around the globe. We think of them a little like a magic formula which helps us all bring our best to the table so that we can enjoy success together. If they resonate with you too, we’d love to speak to you.

Menschlichkeit

Menschlichkeit is accepting that differences do make the difference and we all have a responsibility to those around us.
• Act with social responsibility
• Play an active role in Knauf
• Build an inclusive Knauf community
• Treat each other with fairness and respect
Entrepreneurship

An entrepreneur knows there are worse things than failure, like not even trying. We create a safe, curious environment to let you explore the possibilities.
• Think and act “outside the box”
• Drive change and innovation
• Be pragmatic and take calculated risks
• Take initiatives and be results-oriented

Partnership

Real partnership doesn’t know the difference between ‘our way’ and ‘my way’. We achieve more in a safe and inclusive environment and we want everyone to be valued for their own unique contribution.
• Take on individual responsibilities and make decisions
• Encourage new ideas
• Establish and retain mutual trust and inclusivity
• Act as one team
Commitment

When the world says “Give up”, commitment says “Try one more time”. We mean commitment in the broadest sense, not only to your own career and the company, but also taking that sense of responsibility and respect to your team and everyone who you interact with.
• Enjoy striving to be the best
• Grow and develop our people
• Go the “extra mile”
• Encourage people to take ownership and responsibility

PEOPLE STORIES

I’m Katie, I’ve worked at KI since 2022 as a Regional Key Account Manager looking after our Merchant customers. One of my favorite parts of my job is networking and building relationships, and during my time at Knauf I’ve met so many incredible people from the industry. We have such a strong range of products, that it’s easy to talk passionately about what we do, why we do it and who we are as a company.

Katie Sampson

Head Of Construction Projects
I’m Roxana I started with KI in 2025 as a Quality Assurance Shift Operator. Although I haven’t been working here long I have been guided by the best people and thoroughly enjoy what I do. Knauf is always encouraging new ideas and is open to welcoming determined people onboard regardless of gender or orientation and I think I am the best example of it

Roxana Palade

Quality Assurance Shift Operator
Since joining Knauf 12 years ago I’ve had the chance to travel abroad and support new plant start-ups in Malaysia and Romania. Being involved in these projects was practically rewarding and has allowed me to share knowledge and best practices around safety and efficiency. These experiences have helped me develop my interpersonal and leadership skills, whilst giving me a broader understanding of the business as a whole.

Alastair McManus

Production Operative - Cold End
Being Head of Construction Projects at KI, I’ve learned you can wear many hats—sometimes even a hard hat —and keep your sense of humor! I’ve had the privilege of working with and alongside talented people during my time at Knauf Insulation. Their insight has boosted my confidence and sharpened my judgement. I love our customers, my colleagues, the culture, and the market we operate in. If there’s a blueprint for job satisfaction, this comes considerably close.
