WEIGHT RELIEF SOLUTIONS FOR ALL SECTORS
Transport
Reduce emissions with lighter products than your traditional materials (wood, metal, etc.).
Logistics
Simplify your operations with ultra-light and ergonomic packaging.
Construction
Reduce loads on structures with lightweight, strong materials.
Automotive
Lighten your vehicles to improve their fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
LESS WEIGHT FOR LOGISTICS
Reducing the weight of packaging and ultimately products can reduce storage and shipping costs.
Less material, same strength: lighter solutions optimize your logistics operations.
By reducing unnecessary packaging, waste is limited.
SIMPLIFIED HANDLING
Lightweight solutions simplify handling throughout the supply chain. Knauf Industries’ ergonomic products, such as KOMEBAC®, facilitate physical efforts and reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among employees.
By simplifying product handling, these solutions increase safety and efficiency levels, while improving team well-being.
REDUCE PRODUCTION COSTS
Knauf Industries offers innovative materials that reduce the use of raw materials. For example, expanded polystyrene (EPS), composed of 98% air and 2% matter, offers remarkable lightness and strength.
Our monomaterial solutions such as EPS can optimize production costs and reduce the environmental impact of products, while maintaining the desired technical performance.
CONCRETE SOLUTIONS TO LIGHTEN YOUR PRODUCTS
Polypropylene shuttle bin
Our lightweight rotation bins optimize transport and simplify logistics.
EPS packaging
Our solutions protect and isolate the most sensitive products.
PPE Air Conditioning Cassette
Our HVAC system solutions optimize your energy performance.
Lightweight PPE furniture
Our lightweight furniture solutions reduce logistical burdens and simplify handling.
WEIGHT REDUCTION VIA ECO-DESIGN
To adapt to the varied needs of manufacturers, we support you in your projects from the product design stage, using as little material as possible, meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining a maximum level of quality.
The use of our materials in packaging or technical parts makes it possible to lighten structures and products. For example, we replace metal parts with our materials, the weight gain and ultimately the reduction in CO2 emissions can be simulated by our team of experts for all your projects.
Thanks to materials such as PPE or RELOOPP®, the recycled alternative, our solutions meet your needs for weight reduction, durability and performance.

-
Lightening your products optimizes transport, reduces costs and handling, while reducing the environmental impact.
-
Lightweight products improve handling, reduce MSDs and increase efficiency across the entire supply chain.
-
Knauf Industries uses advanced technologies, such as numerical simulation, to design lightweight and resistant solutions. This method allows products to be virtually tested in their environment before manufacturing, optimizing the weight of the products to use only the necessary amount of material and ensuring high mechanical performance. Thanks to this approach, each solution is adapted to the specific constraints of customers and industrial requirements.
