All our distribution centres will be closed on the public holidays (Friday and Monday), and will reopen on Tuesday 14 April 2020.

15.01.2022 Sione Veamatahau, a warehouse operator at our Bundaberg plant, was recently recognised for going above and beyond the normal call of duty. Sione took the initiative to improve the operations in the Knauf Bundaberg warehouse by designing a new bay labelling system. He engaged with the Production team, sourced the paint and got the job done. Siones initiative is a practical example of living the values of the Knauf Group, said Justin Weier, Bundaberg Plant Manager. It reflects the spirit of commitment and entrepreneurship that we value and we recognise Siones pro-active approach and loyalty. #recognition

10.01.2022 Who needs Black Friday when you have Knauf Kitchen? Pizza was on the menu for our Townsville team today.

10.01.2022 Mould growth on intertenancy walls during the early construction stages of townhouse complexes is almost inevitable, and it costs time and money. Builders have to wait for the board to dry out and the mould to disappear before the project can continue, resulting in costly wait times and the risk of the project not being delivered on time. Thats why we developed mould and water resistant InterShield. InterShield is a welcome and improved addition to the popular Knauf InterHome system.
