Moving the Future
The Knapen Trailers story began 40 years ago with one man. Driven by gut instinct and passion, he founded the company in Deurne. We spoke to Piet Knapen, the founder and namesake of Knapen Trailers. How does Piet look back on 40 years of Knapen Trailers and his time behind the wheel at the company? What did his motto "NO GUTS NO GLORY" bring him? Watch this and more in the video here.
Innovation has always played a prominent role throughout the rich history of Knapen Trailers. From the self-supporting construction to Europe's first moving floor trailer with side doors. And from the first watertight moving floor trailer to the EXSIDE trailer with the widest possible side door opening of up to 12.9 metres. Various industry prizes have been awarded to Knapen Trailers in recognition of their breakthrough innovations and revolutionary concepts. We reflect on past achievements with pride, but maintain our leading position through continuous innovation. We enthusiastically anticipate a future full of innovation!
40 Years of Leading in moving floors
Knapen Trailers started in 1984 as a genuine family-run company. That special family character has always remained, despite the significant growth and, in 2019, the acquisition by Krone, which is also a family business. The enthusiasm and passion for the profession present when Piet Knapen founded Knapen Trailers is still alive today. The incredible levels of expertise and dedication of the Knapen employees unite to create the most innovative trailers. Knapen is a local company with an international orientation, both in terms of its employees and the European market in operates in. The people behind the Knapen brand are an integral part of the company's dynamism. Together they represent the future of the trailer market.
The trust and loyalty of our clients has contributed to Knapen Trailers' evolution into the number 1 player in Europe in the field of moving floor trailers. Over the years we have met many fantastic customers with incredible trailers! We have also constructed countless special, customer-specific trailers for you as well as supplying our standard models. Always aiming to provide you with the very best logistics solution to suit your situation and wishes.
We thank you for your trust in us over the past 40 years!
