“ Back in 2008 , KNAPP was not very well recognised on the Scandinavian market . Nowadays all the major players in our industries know us ,” he said .

“ We had some Class 15 mini-load installations in Scandinavia as well as the UK and one in the US . So we had a period of growth where we became the challenger in the market .”
