A great honor for Schreiner Group: Roland Schreiner, President and CEO of the international family-owned company, was recognized with the prestigious Alphazirkel Family Entrepreneurship Award at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof in Munich. The exclusive award is only presented every five years. It honored Roland Schreiner’s prudent leadership and the company’s successful transformation in the digital age.

Roland Schreiner has been leading Schreiner Group in the third generation with a modern management style since 2012, successfully setting the course for future-proof corporate development. Special emphasis was given to his holistic business management, internationalization, lean management, structural transformation, and impressive innovations for the pharmaceutical and automotive industries.

“A visionary full of ideas”
“I feel very honored to have the opportunity of accepting this accolade. The Alphazirkel Family Entrepreneurship Award is a great recognition for the joint success achieved by all our dedicated employees and motivates us to continue our journey as a family business,” said Roland Schreiner. The award itself, a rhinoceros from the Royal Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory, donated by Serafin, was presented to him during a festive ceremony at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof by Andreas E. Mach. The founder and spokesman of the Alphazirkel recognized Roland Schreiner as a “visionary full of ideas,” saying that “He knew how to carry the family company’s success forward by combining innovation, value-oriented entrepreneurship, and strategic thinking. His leadership style is characterized by a down-to-earth attitude, clarity, and foresight.”

Recognition of Succession Arrangement
The role of Helmut Schreiner, who “due to his carefully considered and professionally planned succession arrangement” laid the foundation for today’s success was emphasized as well. “Letting go of one’s life work is one of the major challenges for family entrepreneurs, and Helmut Schreiner mastered it with great foresight, with the best interests of the family company’s future in mind,” Andreas E. Mach said in his laudatory remarks.
