KNAPP Connectors operates in the construction hardware manufacturing sector and is based in Pineville, North Carolina, designing and manufacturing hidden joinery systems for furniture, cabinets, ready-to-assemble and flat-pack furniture, case goods, timber construction, and architectural millwork. Founded in 1986 by Austrian inventor Friedrich Knapp, the company produces patented connectors in Austria and Germany to high technical standards that tighten during installation and remain invisible once fitted. These features are intended to save time and labor while delivering a clean, professional appearance without visible fasteners. The company’s products are trusted by professionals worldwide and serve markets including furniture manufacturing, timber framing, architectural millwork, modular and prefab construction, outdoor structures, countertops, and glass facades. In November 2022, KNAPP Connectors launched WALCO Z, a solution designed for small timber sections up to 38 mm (2 inches) thick.
