The Knepper Group in Lippstadt has been relying on MEILLER vehicles for its waste disposal trips in Westphalia for decades. With an extensive fleet of vehicles, including skip loaders, roll-off trailers and tipper semi-trailers, the company reliably carries out tasks ranging from bulky waste collection to complex demolition projects.

The collaboration with MEILLER began over 25 years ago, when Managing Director Carsten Knepper collected the first vehicle, a MAN with skip loader, directly in Munich. Today, the fleet comprises around 60 vehicles equipped with robust and durable MEILLER bodies, ideal for the tough demands of recycling and logistics.

Peter Adams, Head of Logistics, describes the company as broadly positioned: In addition to demolition, recycling and scrap transportation, Knepper also undertakes earthworks and external logistics contracts. Projects such as the dismantling of the Ford plant in Wülfrath or the demolition of a cement works in Erwitte regularly demonstrate the high performance of MEILLER technology.

Maintenance is carried out partly in the company's own workshop, partly by regional partners or directly by the manufacturer. MEILLER service technicians such as Ralf Koböken ensure smooth processes and provide support with maintenance and statutory inspections.

Knepper's long-term plan is for each vehicle to be used for at least ten years. At the same time, the next generation of drivers is secured: The company trains professional drivers itself in order to meet the growing demand and keep the fleet fit for the future.
