Knauf Integral KG

What Knauf Integral KG does

Knauf Integral KG is a German limited partnership (KG) and operating business unit within the privately-held Knauf Group, headquartered in Satteldorf, Baden-Württemberg. The entity specializes in GIFAtec Premium Gipsfaserwerkstoff, a high-quality gypsum fiber construction material, and is responsible for a portfolio of floor, wall, ceiling, and facade system solutions sold primarily under the GIFAfloor PRESTO, AQUAPANEL, Heraklith, PERLIGRAN, Supafil, TOPIQ Alpha, Cleaneo Klett, and WARM-WAND Sprint product lines. Its flagship commercial proposition is integrated system solutions covering fire protection, soundproofing, acoustics, energy efficiency, design, and moisture protection for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

The company serves five customer segments: specialist tradesmen (Fachunternehmer, primary), architects and planners, dealers, DIY consumers, and industrial customers, with go-to-market executed through Knauf Group's regional dealer network in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland plus direct sales to specialist contractors and industrial accounts. Supporting the GTM motion are digital tools including the plannersuite.knauf.com system finder, myKnauf customer portal, acoustic planning calculators, CAD detail libraries, and a dedicated balkendecke.de microsite for the GIFAfloor PRESTO renovation solution targeting old buildings with wooden beam ceilings.

Knauf Integral KG operates with a lean headcount of 26 employees, suggesting it functions primarily as a product, brand, and specification-management unit rather than a standalone manufacturing entity — production and physical distribution are likely executed through sibling Knauf Group business areas such as Knauf Gips, Knauf Insulation, Knauf Ceiling Solutions, and Knauf Performance Materials. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; pricing is quote-based and B2B, typical of construction materials, and the company has no disclosed patents, certifications, regulatory actions, leadership changes, M&A activity, or external funding rounds.
