Ken Forlenza joins Schreiner Group as US president

Schreiner Group has appointed Ken Forlenza as the new president of its US site in Blauvelt, New York. Forlenza brings a background in engineering, business development and leadership to Schreiner Group’s US operations. 

'With our expected expansion into new markets, attracting top talent and investing in staff development will be critical to success,' Forlenza said. 

Forlenza sees major growth potential in the pharma, automotive and industrial sectors, where Schreiner Group’s technologies have been established for decades. 

'There’s a deep sense of pride here, and everyone is committed to long-term success,' Forlenza shared.

His experience in the specialty chemicals industry, particularly adhesives, aligns well with Schreiner Group’s core product offerings.

He started at Schreiner Group a few weeks ago.

'The local team has been incredibly supportive,' he said. 'I even had the chance to run my first label on the production press, and I plan to frame it as a keepsake.'

'We are thrilled to have Ken Forlenza join us as the new president of our US site,' said Roland Schreiner, CEO of Schreiner Group. 'His wealth of experience in various sectors, combined with his passion for innovation and collaboration, make him the perfect fit to drive our growth in our key healthcare and mobility markets.'

Schreiner Group established its production site in Blauvelt in 2008, which initially produced exclusively for the Schreiner MediPharm division and the pharmaceutical industry. The site since has expanded to include Schreiner ProTech, which focuses on the automotive and general industries. Today, over 90 employees at the Blauvelt facility produce high-tech labels and functional parts for the entire North American market.
