You may think you've come to a company that manufactures and sells acoustic ceilings, wall panels and screens. And you're not wrong, but that is not the answer you'd get if you ask anyone that works here for Ecophon or knows us.Every single person at Ecophon shares a passion and conviction that room acoustics are an integral component of any great work environment that benefits people and the environment. The collective knowledge we share in this area is far greater than "just" the product (albeit a top-quality, innovative product).
This knowledge is so important to usa that we even have a person dedicated to manage and develop internal training sessions for our employess(on top of various knowledge-sharing networks, e-learning modules, visiting lecturers and other initiatives), we have our own in-house professor in acoustics and several oter people involved in research projects! It's something we don't take lightly.
There are several reasons of course, but we use this knowledge in the development of our products and perhaps more importantly take it into the world. Not just to our buying customers, but to as many people as we can possibly reach because we think everyone deserves a good acoustic environment. Every school child deserves to hear and understand their teacher, every patient should be spared from a stressful sound environment, every office worker should be able to concentrate on their task and communicate with their colleague, every childcare worker deserves to keep their hearing and no factory worker should have to risk their safety due to a noisy work environment.
THAT is what we do.
Our driving forces could be summed up in these three words.
Passion. Competence. Innovation

KNAUF
Knauf is a synonym for gypsum – among construction experts and enthusiasts. This proverbial association of a building material with a manufacturer’s name is not just coincidence. It is the result of decades of hard work and consistently high quality.The fact is, if you say Knauf, you mean dependability. Our group of companies had comparably humble beginnings. Specifically the family company was established in 1932, when brothers Alfons and Karl Knauf secured the mining rights to gypsum deposits in the Schengen community (Obermosel) in Germany. Courage, determination, and business savvy were the reasons that only a year later Knauf established its first gypsum factory in Perl (Moselle) – laying the foundation for what would later be the Knauf Group.
Product quality and product diversity
Today Knauf is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of modern insulation materials, drylining systems, plasters and accessories, thermal insulation composite systems, paints, floor screed, floor systems, and construction equipment and tools. With 150 production facilities and sales organisations in over 60 countries, 26,000 employees worldwide, and sales of 6.27 billion Euro (in 2013), the Knauf Group is without doubt one of the big players on the market – in Europe, the USA, South America, Russia, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Amid the success, our family of companies has stayed true to its principles. We value mutual trust, diligence, visionary thinking, and cohesion. Managing partners Manfred Grundke and Alexander Knauf as well as Nikolaus and Baldwin Knauf, as chairman and vice-chairman of the shareholders’ committee, uphold these values in everything they do. Regardless of the structure, project, or building project – Knauf makes it happen. For its customers. And together with its customers.
Knauf can.
