Innovation by tradition - worldwide
Innovation aus Tradition - weltweit
"Since our foundation in 1937 by my father Valentin Knott senior, the KNOTT company has developed from a supplier of gearboxes to a leading global manufacturer of brake and trailer technology. Because we always attach great importance to the highest quality workmanship. Because we work manually and automatically. But above all, because we always orient ourselves to the requirements of our customers. From the prototype via the small series to the large series, the following applies: we don't deliver off the shelf, we develop sustainable solutions in the interests of our customers." (Valentin Knott)
That is the tradition at KNOTT: problem solutions in all areas, tailor-made according to customer requirements.
"Seit unserer Gründung im Jahr 1937 durch meinen Vater Valentin Knott sen. hat sich die Firma KNOTT vom Zulieferer für Getriebe zu einem weltweit führenden Hersteller von Bremsen- und Trailertechnik entwickelt. Weil wir stets auf höchste Qualitätsarbeit Wert legen. Weil wir sowohl handwerklich wie automatisiert arbeiten. Vor allem aber, weil wir uns stets an den Anforderungen unserer Kunden orientieren. Vom Prototyp über die Kleinstserie bis zu großen Serien gilt: Wir liefern nicht von der Stange, wir entwickeln nachhaltige Lösungen im Sinne unserer Kunden." (Valentin Knott)
Das ist es, was bei KNOTT Tradition hat: Problemlösungen in allen Bereichen, maßgeschneidert nach Kundenwunsch.
