The following spread features highlights of the past ten years as CEO in pictures. However, Roland Schreiner decisively helped shape the family-owned company even before taking the reins. In 1999, he became president of the Schreiner MediPharm business unit and, since 2007, was additionally responsible for establishing and developing the Schreiner Group LP production site in Blauvelt, USA. A year later, he also joined the senior management board and assumed responsibility for all production operations. At that time, he discovered lean management as a forward-thinking concept for Schreiner Group and initiated its successful implementation. Concurrently, he extensively reorganized the sales organization and transformed four of the then seven business units into competence centers. The resulting matrix structure has been an essential element of the company’s highly successful business development ever since.

Roland Schreiner established the Schreiner MediPharm business unit as a highly capable development partner and reliable quality supplier. In 1999, annual sales of multi-functional specialty labels and marking solutions for the pharmaceutical industry and medical device technology amounted to some 12 million euros. In his 12 years as president of the business unit, Roland Schreiner, together with his then 70-member team, increased this sales volume sixfold, with average annual growth rates of 16.9 percent.

Roland Schreiner initiated and decisively drove the development of the first international production site. As a result of his international engagement, Schreiner Group opened a plant of its own in Blauvelt (New York) in 2008. Today, more than 70 people are working there in an area of more than 6,000 square meters.

In fall of 2012, Roland Schreiner took over the role of Schreiner Group’s CEO from his father, Helmut. Annual sales of 125 million euros back then have since increased to around 200 million. Instead of 750, more than 1,200 people are now employed by the family-owned company. Plus, these ten years have produced plenty of other highlights:
