KNAPP AB
EUROPE
Though KNAPP AB is responsible for local acquisitions for KNAPP ’ s large-scale integrated projects , The MD sees SMC work as a crucial part of the business .
He said : “ We see a gap in the market for these smaller scale , less complex projects : £ 100,000 to £ 2m , a field that the really large players are not eager to take projects in . But sometimes it is better to take those . Within the KNAPP group we aim to be a fast-moving , agile , responsive company with very short delivery times to quote and execute this kind of project .
“ Delivery time is so important , because customers can get a return on investment quickly , meaning they get better savings . The decision processes within the company are much faster than a few years ago .”
Market-leading technology For years , KNAPP AB has set the market standard for conveyor systems , and that it continues to do so is all the more important with the major international players now present in Scandinavia .
The company ’ s invented pick solution , the OSR shuttle-based technology for storage and retrieval- has revolutionised infralogistics , and proven invaluable to its large customer-bases in the pharma , fashion and e-commerce sectors .
The OSR Shuttle is a high-performance , versatile and reliable semi-automatic picking and storage system that forms the heart of the company ’ s warehouses .
