Viega LLC recently announced the appointment of Andreas Reger as the new president and CEO, effective on April 1.

Reger will replace Markus Brettschneider, who was recently appointed as the new Global CEO for Viega Group, effective September. This move follows the decision of current Global CEO Claus Holst-Gydesen to move to Viega’s supervisory board after 14 years of leadership, with the last 10 years as Global CEO.

“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.

Reger joins Viega from BBB Industries, a global market leader in sustainable automotive remanufacturing, where he served as the 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 his Master of Business Administration degree from Colorado State University, and received his Doctorate in Business Administration from Lawrence Tech in Southfield, Michigan.

Brettschneider has been with Viega since 2020. He contributed to Viega’s growth and its recent cultural transformation.
