know-how carriers
I don't think you want to start getting metaphorical - Kompetenzträger has a quite literal meaning, which isn't quite captured by "key personnel". However, I give this a low confidence level as I agree that it sounds somewhat translated - but it does convey the appropriate meaning (you could even put it in inverted commas to convey the "translatedness").
The central building block of each company are its know-how carriers.

those responsible for/those conveying this competence
IMO this only works with a phrase (as so often with compound German words). Presumably the sentence before will say something about competence, so you can take up this word again.
