Effective September 1, 2026, Philipp Bock will join the management team of the Bad Saulgau-based family-owned company. He will initially assume responsibility for the Sales and Marketing divisions. At a later date, his area of responsibility will be expanded to include service.

By expanding its management team, KNOLL aims to continue the company’s successful development over the long term, ensure continuity, and simultaneously provide new impetus for the future. The appointment of Philipp Bock is also another building block in the company’s long-term, structured succession plan.

The areas under Mr. Bock’s responsibility play a central role in KNOLL’s market positioning, the support of international customers, and the sustainable development of its service portfolio. By consolidating these market-oriented functions under a single, clear line of responsibility, the company aims to further shorten decision-making processes, optimize interfaces, and consistently strengthen its customer focus.
