Knauf Group is a multinational, family-owned company based in

stone wool and other insulation materials under the company Knauf Insulation
.

It has more than 150 production sites worldwide.[1] It is one of the six producers which hold approximately 81% of the worldwide wallboard market (

Georgia Pacific
, Knauf, Siniat,
National Gypsum Company, Saint-Gobain, and Yoshino Gypsum Co., Ltd).[2]

In 2022, after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Yale University published a list of companies that chose to remain active in Russia. According to this report, over 600 companies have withdrawn from Russia — but some remain. Knauf is still operating across 14 sites in Russia but has suspended new investments.[3]

In November 2023 Ukraine listed Knauf as an

International Sponsor of War for promoting mobilisation in Russia by sending its employees to the war against Ukraine.[4]
