In all branches of industry, a large variety of tasks arise when realizing simple and complex projects. For reasons of strategy, personnel, schedule or costs, many companies prefer to entrust some tasks or the whole project to external professionals.

KNOEPFLI INGENIEUR-DIENSTLEISTUNGEN was established in January of 2007 as sole proprietor company to offer engineering related services in order to perform some of these tasks or realize complete projects.

In 2015  the sole proprietor company was transformed in a limited liability company (Ltd.) with the same goals .

At KNOEPFLI INGENIEUR-DIENSTLEISTUNGEN, quality and precision have the highest priority during the cost-effective and on-schedule completion of a project.

Principles

Principles

The following principles guide all activities of KNOEPFLI INGENIEUR-DIENSTLEISTUNGEN:

COMMITED TO QUALITY
Quality: the signature of KI. The customer's needs and budget define the framework conditions within which KI performs not just as good as needed, but as good as possible.

ETHICAL
KI stands entirely behind procedures and result of each project. KI does not participate in any project which (among other things) stands in obvious connection with weapons or war material.

ECONOMICAL
Quality has its price. KI does not want to be the cheapest bidder, but to offer a good price-performance ratio. The prices shall offer a good customer value and allow KI to subsist and to grow moderately, not with a view to maximum profit.

HONEST and OPEN
Honesty is the best policy. KI strives to inform and communicate over and above the principle of "need to know" and orients itself on the principle of "has the right to know". Should a mistake creep in, KI wants to talk openly about its correction.
