On July 16, 2025, the Knauf Group marked a major milestone with the celebration of a unique collaboration of two business units, Knauf Insulation and Knauf Ceiling Solutions, at their shared site in Illange, Grand Est, France.
Originally established in 2019 as a rock wool insulation production plant, the Illange site has now expanded to include a state-of-the-art ceiling solutions facility. This new facility will use rock wool to launch an innovative line of mineral ceilings, reinforcing Knauf’s commitment to sustainable construction.
We at Biele Group are proud to have contributed to this milestone as the provider of the Finishing Line for Soft Ceiling Tiles, which includes:
🔹 Laminating
🔹 Trimming & Profiling
🔹 Painting & Packaging
🔹 Integration of the two production areas
🔹 Implementation of the communication system software for the entire line
It was an honor to be part of the inauguration and to have collaborated with Knauf throughout this relevant project.
👏 Congratulations to everyone involved in making this project a success!
