A work assignment at Knauf in Illange rarely fits into a single night. Between technical shutdowns, maintenance, line start-ups or a project spanning several weeks, what you really need is a reliable base: an address less than ten minutes from the site, a clean invoice for your company, and a place where you can genuinely unwind once your shift is over. SleepInMoselle rents furnished studios and one-bedroom apartments in Thionville and the station district, designed for technicians, contractors and engineers on assignment. Direct booking, self check-in 24/7, fibre wifi: you arrive, you open the door, you’re home.
Knauf in Illange: a site ramping up, assignments that last
Illange is no ordinary industrial site. Knauf Insulation has produced stone wool here since 2019, and on 17 July 2025 the group inaugurated a new Knauf Ceiling Solutions plant dedicated to ceiling tiles — an investment of around 100 million euros and some fifty jobs created. Two neighbouring units ramping up, with the multi-shift operation that entails.
In practice, this means a steady flow of external work: maintenance, equipment commissioning, inspections, specialised services, operator training. Plenty of assignments that stretch over several days, often several weeks. If you work for Knauf or one of its contractors, you know that hotels charged by the night end up costly and wearing. A furnished apartment for a medium-term stay, with a proper kitchenette and a proper bathroom, completely changes daily life on a long trip: you cook whenever you like, do your laundry on site, sleep in peace and recharge.
Minutes from the site: Thionville and the station district as your base
The Knauf site borders the Mégazone Illange-Bertrange (Beau Vallon business park), where Illange, Yutz and Thionville meet. Access to the A31 is practically at the edge of the zone, via exits 37.2 and 38, connecting you to Metz to the south and Luxembourg to the north alike.
Rather than sleeping at the foot of the production lines, most of our business travellers prefer to base themselves in Thionville: the station, the shops, the restaurants and a bit of evening life make a real difference when an assignment drags on. The drive to the Illange site takes just a few minutes — about 4 km from Thionville station, less than ten minutes on the road. You keep the flexibility of the car to match your shift hours, and at the weekend, Thionville’s old town, the Moselle and the Luxembourg corridor (Luxembourg is 25 minutes away by train) are within easy reach if you stay on.
Built for business travel: invoicing, autonomy, medium-term stays
Our apartments are calibrated for business travel, not just an overnight stopover. You receive an invoice in your company’s name for every stay — a furnished rental not subject to VAT — which simplifies expense claims and accounting.
Check-in is self-service, 24/7: after a shift that ends late or a long drive, you let yourself in with your code, no reception to wait for. Fibre wifi lets you handle your reporting, video calls or remote work between jobs without any hassle. The fully equipped kitchenette saves you from eating out every night — real money saved and real comfort on a long assignment. On the practical side, every apartment has a washing machine (plus an iron, ironing board and fan), so you’re set for several weeks without a second thought. Cleaning is handled by a professional team, and rates taper from 5 nights, then in 7-night tiers (schedule provided on quotation): by the week or the month, the nightly rate drops well below a hotel’s. In short, everything is set up so that you come home in the evening to somewhere that feels like your own place, not a standardised room.
