Knürr GmbH ISO 14001 certified another milestone for quality and sustainability

Knürr GmbH has reached another important milestone in its company history: since March 2026, the company has been officially certified according to ISO 14001:2015 – the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems. This new certification complements the existing ISO 9001 quality management system, which has been an integral part of the company’s philosophy for many years.

Two Strong Standards – One Shared Commitment

With its ISO 9001 certification, Knürr GmbH has long ensured that all processes – from development and manufacturing to customer service – meet the highest quality standards. Customers worldwide rely on the reliability and precision guaranteed by this management system.

The new ISO 14001 certification now takes a decisive step further: it demonstrates that Knürr GmbH approaches its environmental responsibility with the same systematic rigor as its commitment to quality.

“Quality and sustainability are not opposites for us – they go hand in hand,” explains Tim Holzapfel, COO of Knürr GmbH. “The ISO 14001 certification is a logical and consistent step on our journey of continuous improvement – not only in what we do, but also in how we do it.”

What ISO 14001 Certification Means in Practice

As part of its certified environmental management system, Knürr GmbH is committed to:

• Systematically identifying and evaluating all environmentally relevant processes and impacts

• Using energy, materials, and resources efficiently and responsibly in manufacturing

• Reducing emissions and waste across the entire value chain

• Complying with and exceeding all applicable environmental regulations and legal requirements

• Continuously improving environmental performance through regular internal and external audits

• Actively involving all employees in achieving environmental goals

Continuous Improvement as a Corporate Culture

The combination of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 forms an integrated management system that does not treat quality and environmental protection as isolated tasks, but as part of a holistic corporate strategy.

For Knürr GmbH, this means:

✅ Highest product quality – developed and manufactured according to certified processes
✅ Sustainable production – with measurable environmental targets and transparent documentation
✅ Reliable partnership – for customers who value responsible suppliers
✅ Future readiness – through a structured framework for innovation and continuous improvement

Especially in demanding sectors such as control room technology, IT infrastructure, and control room solutions, these values are a key factor in the selection of partners and suppliers. More and more tenders and customer requirements now call for a certified environmental management system – and Knürr GmbH is now ideally positioned to meet these expectations.

A Thank You to the Entire Team

The successful implementation of the environmental management system and the achievement of certification are the result of a company-wide effort. From management to production, as well as sales and administration, all departments contributed to this accomplishment.

“This milestone belongs to our entire team,” emphasizes the management. “Without the commitment and dedication of every single employee, this certification would not have been possible.”
