🤔 Why us – and not another company?

• 100 years under our belt, but no standstill: We are not an anonymous large corporation, but an owner-managed family business – decisions are made here, not somewhere in a head office
• Versatility instead of one-way street: Commercial vehicles, construction machinery, bodywork – with us you learn more than just one vehicle category
• Development is lived: As an automotive specialist, you are not "fully trained" with us – we specifically promote you towards mechatronics or special fields
• A team that stays: Our long-standing employees speak for themselves – short decision-making paths and a family atmosphere are not just empty words here
• More than a job: Through the Knecht Group, you have access to other Thomann companies, Eurobus, Welti-Furrer and other sister companies if you want to reorient yourself later
