KNF Group Celebrates 77th Anniversary

On June 16 and 17, employees from throughout KNF came together to celebrate the group's 77th anniversary.

The whole of the KNF Groupe came together in Germany to celebrate 77 years of successful corporate history.

For the first time in the company's history, all employees from all 24 locations of the KNF Group were invited to celebrate this important milestone together. The celebration took place in Freiburg-Munzingen, Germany, the birthplace of KNF.

Celebrating As One Big Team

With record year after record year and significant, continued growth, KNF came together to celebrate. All of our more than 850 employees from all over the world were invited. It was the largest company event in the history of KNF. Guests came from Australia, Belgium, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The theme of the anniversary was “Route 77 – Connect, Explore, Celebrate”. And that was exactly what the two-day event was all about.

Experiencing Production and History

During guided tours, employees had the opportunity to experience the state-of-the-art production facilities of our German gas pump Product Center. The tour also provided a lively insight into the 77 years of the company's exciting history. A special exhibition celebrated the richness and diversity of KNF across generations, hierarchies and cultures.

A highlight of the event was the personal speech by CEO Martin Becker at the evening event, in which he thanked all KNF employees for their work and commitment.

Thanks to the Employees

As an internal celebration, the event was a way of saying thank you to all the employees of the KNF Group. After years of stable growth in the face of global challenges and travel restrictions, this party was the first opportunity to celebrate the joint success in person. That is why Martin Becker, CEO of the KNF Group, put a special focus on the employees in his speech at the closing event on Saturday.
