BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Andreas Reger will become the new president and CEO of press technology manufacturer Viega LLC, effective Monday, April 1.
Reger will replace Markus Brettschneider, who was recently appointed as the global CEO for Viega Group, effective in September. The move follows the decision of current global CEO Claus Holst-Gydesen to move to Viega’s supervisory board, a press release from the company said.
“Andreas is a growth-driven leader who joins Viega LLC at an important time on our growth journey as the company is in the midst of a capital investment plan which will see more than $300 million dollars of investment in both our Kansas production facility and our new Ohio facility over the next five years,” Brettschneider said. “Andreas has significant experience leading growing businesses and ensuring that growth benefits all stakeholders — customers, employees, communities, and our industry.”
Reger joins Viega from BBB Industries, which remanufactures automobile components. He had been president of the Undercar Business Unit.
Prior to BBB Industries, Reger held regional CEO roles for Pollmann North America, ALPLA North America, and DÜRR Ecoclean, Inc. He studied International Business Management at the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) and the FH Wiesbaden (Germany), obtained a master’s degree in business administration degree from Colorado State University and earned a doctorate in business administration from Lawrence Technological University.
“I was attracted to Viega because of the company’s industry-leading products, commitment to quality, and the values-based culture,” Reger said. “I look forward to joining Viega LLC at such an exciting time of growth and expansion, and I'm excited about continuing this journey forward with the team.”
Brettschneider, current President and CEO, has been with Viega LLC since 2020.
“I know Viega LLC is in excellent and very capable hands,” said Brettschneider. “I am confident Andreas’ expertise and people-focused leadership will take Viega LLC to new heights, and I am committed to helping ensure a smooth transition over the coming months.”
