of today and tomorrow!
The Knill Gruppe is shaping the future of energy, mobility and communication. Our products and technologies are an essential part of everyday life: with fittings for overhead lines and cabinet systems, we ensure the reliable transmission and distribution of energy. Our solutions for railway infrastructure support modern and sustainable mobility worldwide. At the same time, our production facilities enable the manufacture of telecommunication cables that drive our digital world. This is how we create the basis for a reliable infrastructure – today and in the future.
Electrical energy – the driving force of our daily lives
Electrical energy keeps our lives moving. From smart homes to digital offices – devices and functions that rely on electricity surround us everywhere. The intelligent and reliable connection between power plant and consumer forms the basis for a smooth everyday life and our personal progress. Our products contribute to a reliable power supply.
Communication – the world is a single network
In our modern world, we are constantly digitally connected, whether at work or at home. Whether smartphone, smartwatch, email or video conferencing – we communicate almost around the clock, even in our sleep if we want to with a smartwatch. We often take all these connections for granted. The Knill Gruppe contributes to the stability of these networks with technologies for the production of cables, wires and optical fibers as well as the corresponding distribution infrastructure.
Mobility – progress through movement
Progress comes from movement and exchange. Roads, railways and airways enable this in the shortest possible time. New framework conditions such as electromobility and autonomous driving open up additional opportunities for us. We are on the right track! As the Knill Gruppe, we focus precisely on these areas. Our customers use our production facilities to manufacture the batteries, cables and wires that are used in modern mobility.
Since 1712
For over 300 years, courageous entrepreneurial personalities have shaped the history of the Knill Gruppe, turning the forge at the Weizbach into a global player. For a family business in its 12th generation, reinventing itself constantly without losing sight of its identity is no easy task. However, we demonstrate that tradition and progress are not mutually exclusive.
