Philippines: Knauf Gypsum Philippines has opened its first gypsum board training centre in the country in Quezon City. The ‘Knauf Academy’ is intended to help train local construction workers, according to the Business Mirror newspaper. Mark Sergio, the managing director of Knauf Gypsum Philippines and Alexander Schmidt, Acting Deputy Head of Mission at the German Embassy, attended the opening event.
