Knauf Insulation to invest EUR 30 million in mineral wool plant in Surdulica

The German company Knauf Insulation will realize another investment over the next 12 months. With the new investment in Serbia, the capacity of the mineral wool plant in Surdulica will be increased by around 20%, whereas the production volume will amount to over 55 thousand tons a year. This fully meets the demand of the market in Serbia and Southeast Europe, and the exporting capacities of the plant in Surdulica are increasing.

The equipment will be upgraded with the most modern technology, meeting the EU environmental standards, which should come into effect in 2021, the company says in a press release.

Knauf Insulation has been present on the Serbian market since 2005, when it successfully privatized the then mineral wool plant Vunizol. Since then, they have invested EUR 30 million. Today, they employ 130 people.

Knauf Insulation is one of the most prominent names in the field of thermal insulation, with 40 factories worldwide, identical in standards and technologies. The company's annual sales exceed EUR 1.7 billion.

Thanks to the introduction of the Ecose technology in the production in 2009, the factory offered top-quality sustainable products based on natural raw materials. The announced investment will secure additional amounts of mineral wool and help meet the increasing demand for quality insulation materials that contribute to the energy efficiency and fire protection of facilities.
