Progroup AG is setting the next important milestone in its strategic development: Vinzenz Heindl will join the Management Board as Chief Sales Officer (CSO) on 1 August 2025. With this decision, the company is clearly positioning itself for sustainable growth under family ownership and even closer partnerships with its customers.
„On the one hand, my brother will enrich the Management Board with important impulses from a customer perspective, and on the other hand, together with me, he will guarantee that the values and principles that have made Progroup successful will continue to be lived in the future. He not only brings with him a comprehensive understanding of the market, but also the ability to shape customer relationships with foresight and depth. I am delighted that he will be joining our Executive Board team with immediate effect,“ says CEO Maximilian Heindl, who took over as CEO from Progroup founder Jürgen Heindl at the turn of the year 2022 / 2023.
Vinzenz Heindl established the Professionals Academy SPO GmbH as Managing Director. As part of JH Holding GmbH - the main shareholder and majority shareholder of Progroup AG - it offers a platform for industry and family business-specific dialogue. In this role, he developed a close network and established the Professionals Academy as an important driver of sustainable development for family businesses in the paper and packaging industry in Central Europe.
„My appointment to the Progroup Management Board is a significant step for me - both professionally and personally. I am looking forward to further expanding our trusting customer relationships - many of which have existed for years, some even for decades, and are characterised by personal ties. At the same time, I want to provide new impetus to actively shape future topics together with our partners. For me, the focus is on dialogue, both externally and internally. For me, the ‚Power of Cooperation‘ is not a concept on paper, but a lived aspiration - on an equal footing and with the common goal of developing the future of family-run companies in our industry.“
