The KNAPP Culture

Empowering people to shape the future of logistics.

At KNAPP, we’re more than a technology company — we’re a community driven by purpose. We value quality, empower future leaders and celebrate the unique strengths each person brings. Our culture is built on trust, creativity and a shared passion for making a difference—in our work, in our teams and in the world around us. This is the KNAPP spirit.

We are KNAPP

We Value Quality & Safety

We are certified in the areas of quality management (ISO 9001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001) and information security management (ISO 27001) in addition to environmental management (ISO 14001) at our global headquarters in Graz, Austria.

We Empower the Next Generation

We host exciting events such as the KNAPP Coding Contest and the KNAPP RoboLeague so emerging talents can challenge themselves with complex programming tasks. Our apprenticeship program trains around 140 young tech enthusiasts in fields such as mechatronics, information technology and application development.

We Celebrate Unique Strengths and Skills

We’re a team of more than 8,000 people working across 50+ global subsidiaries. We bring different backgrounds, qualifications and perspectives─and we value those differences─because we know that diversity make us stronger.

We Support Inclusivity and Innovation

We believe a strong workplace culture starts with listening, supporting and celebrating our people. Through employee-led engagement committees focused on Wellness, Corporate Social Responsibility, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging and Recognition, we create space for meaningful connection and continuous improvement─inside and outside the workplace.

We Care About Our Communities

Our North American team participates in various charitable events throughout the year, including Blessings in a Backpack (an organization that mobilizes communities to provide food for school-aged children), Mostly Mutts (a rescue organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals through adoption, fostering and community education) and Toys for Tots (a not-for-profit public charity that collects and distributes new, unwrapped toys to children in need during the holiday season), just to name a few.

Our values─reliability, courage, openness, appreciation and creativity─are more than words. They guide how we work, collaborate and grow together. These principles shape a culture where trust, responsibility and innovation thrive. We support each other, celebrate our differences and share a passion for creating smart, future-ready solutions. That’s the KNAPP spirit.

Our Core Values

Courage

“The primary way in which we exhibit Courage is in decision-making. Making the right decision does take a lot of courage. To make decisions, we need to determine who the stakeholders are, we need to align with all the stakeholders, agree on a way forward and make decisions to go. That can take quite a bit of courage.”

– Josef Mentzer, Chief Executive Officer

Appreciation

“Appreciation at KNAPP is something very intimate. It’s earned trust leading to more autonomy and responsibility for someone because they do a good job. It’s the ability to honestly address challenges no matter what hierarchical level they come from. It’s small gestures in everyday life like a ‘thank you’ that comes unexpected, that shows that we value the contributions no matter how big or small they are.”

– Clemens Bauer, Chief Financial Officer

Creativity

“Creativity is not only about the solutions and products. It’s much more about being creative in creating a great culture and also creating an environment for our employees at KNAPP.”

– Jusuf Buzimkic, Chief Sales Officer

Reliability

“Talking about Reliability, it means for me that we have to create, besides of course the technical reliability of our products and reliability towards our technology, we have to create a trustworthy environment for all of us to be successful.”

– Andreas Salznig, Chief Operations Officer

Openness

“For me, Openness is really a key word here at KNAPP. I have found the entire company to be very flexible and willing to listen to new ideas and perspectives. Overall, I think there is a lot of acceptance here and I’m very grateful to be part of it.”

– Kevin Richardson, Vice President Human Resources
