Quality
Quality
Our aim is to always offer and deliver the best products to our customers. We achieve this high standard through consistent planning, systematic control and monitoring of all the resources and activities in the processes, in accordance with the quality standard DIN EN ISO 14 000 ff, all the way from processing of the request and offer through to the handover of the products to the customer. All the production steps are closely monitored and documented. In addition, the quality standard ISO 9001:2000 is the guideline for achieving our high demands on the quality of our products, which we continuously monitor both internally and through an external auditor.
Thanks to regular training and further education, our employees are professionally qualified and motivated, which forms the basis for our high quality and environmental awareness and ensures plant safety, occupational safety and environmental protection.

Environment
Environment
Construction chemistry and sustainability - it doesn't have to be a contradiction!
Our philosophy and guiding principles are "green chemistry", which we live 100%. Our focus here is holistically on sustainability while maintaining the highest quality and effectiveness of our products.
Only we offer you the maximum environmental compatibility at all product stages, starting with the production using energy-saving and environmentally friendly processes, up to the finished products that have such low emissions that we are the only manufacturer of liquid screed admixtures certified and listed by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).
All possible environmental risks in terms of
- water and soil protection
- immission protection
- waste disposal
- use of hazardous substances
are evaluated according to the environmental standard DIN EN ISO 14 000 ff and all the necessary measures are taken to protect the environment. In addition, our products make it possible to reduce or replace the water and cement content in concrete and screed systems and therefore they actively contribute to significantly improving the environmental balance of construction projects.
Our high demands on sustainability and environment, which determine and guide our daily behaviour, are additionally continuously monitored by an external environmental auditor.
Sustainability
For us at KNOPP and also at ARDEX, sustainable action means shaping the future in a responsible way in the long term. Using economic resources sparingly to preserve their value and to protect our environment – in a way that is based on fairness and respect. The idea of sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy.
