Double honour for Karl Knauer

Two silver prizes at the Druck&Medien Awards 2021

The German Print & Media Awards are considered the most prestigious distinction in the country’s print and media industry and this year saw them presented for the 17th time. Packaging and advertising specialist Karl Knauer from Biberach was nominated by the expert judging panel in four categories: “Packaging Printer of the Year”, “Most Innovative Company of the Year”, “Training Company of the Year” and “Environmentally-focused Company of the Year.

At the award ceremony in Berlin at the beginning of November, the Black Forest-based company secured two second places in the highly competitive event, thereby receiving silver certificates as “Training Company of the Year” and “Packaging Printer of the Year”. With this success, the family-owned company from the Black Forest continues to rank among the top businesses in the industry.

“We’re delighted that we impressed the judging panel not only with our innovative products, but also with the quality of our training provision,” says Stefanie Wieckenberg, Managing Director at Karl Knauer KG. “When sustainability is talked about, the focus is usually on environmental aspects and the responsible use of resources. But for us as a family business, it is much more about the people with whom, and for whom, we want the shape the future in a meaningful way. And this starts with training that enables our next generation of employees to put their knowledge and skills to good use in society.”
