The Company
I am currently working with Knapp UK on an exclusive basis at one of the flagship sites in Castle Donington for a number of Maintenance Engineers. Knapp is a true leader in the world of automation and one of the largest systems integrators globally, with over 7000 employees operating in over 60 countries. They are turning over close to two billion pounds worldwide, and their market continues to grow year after year. As a business, they can offer immense amounts of progression opportunities, security, and internal/external training. They provide solutions to some of the largest household brands including Boots, M&S, Primark, The Very Group, and many more. Knapp invests heavily in R&D, priding themselves on first-class service to all their customers.
Knapp UK is constantly evolving the way they develop, deliver, and support their customers to ensure they fulfill their demands. They achieve this through using the latest state-of-the-art technology, including OSR shuttle systems, hanging garments, various pick and place robotics, and a range of other automation.
