We like setting a good example
Owner-managed, value-driven, committed: Karl Knauer is a company that can look back on a long tradition, so we attach a great deal of importance to shouldering responsibility. Not only for our employees, but within our locality too. This is demonstrated by the wide variety of social and cultural projects run by the Karl Knauer Foundation and funding projects such as the company’s childcare centre, ‘Fliegerkiste’.
In the Fliegerkiste, employees are provided with the best possible support while children, from 6 months old until the end of primary school, receive optimal care. For more information about the Fliegerkiste, visit www.fliegerkiste-biberach.de.
“The founding of the Fliegerkiste childcare center is particularly close to my heart. As the Managing Director of Karl Knauer KG and a mother, I know firsthand how important it is to balance work and family life. The Fliegerkiste was created to make this balance possible: providing reliable, caring and high-quality childcare for our children while we focus on our work.”
Stefanie Wieckenberg, Managing Director of Karl Knauer KG
