He adds, “As the only manufacturer of both Rock and Glass Mineral Wool products, I believe Knauf Insulation is uniquely placed to provide the best solution for each application, and I’m looking forward to working closely with our customers to develop Rock Mineral Wool insulation solutions that meet their needs even further.”
