The Next Generation: The Rise and Rise of Progroup in Europe, Paper360º March/April 2023

There is no packaging group quite like European company Progroup. Founded only 30 years ago in Offenbach an der Queich, Germany, by Jürgen Heindl, this privately owned family business has gone from a plan on a sheet of paper to a EUR1.3 billion (US$1.38 billion) turnover juggernaut with 12 corrugated sheet-feeder plants, three modern paper mills, a logistics company, and an RDF power plant—with more to come.

Paper360° sat down with Progroup founder Jürgen Heindl and his eldest son Maximilian, who has recently taken the reins as CEO of the company, to talk about what’s next for this dynamic operation. The interview took place in the brand-new administrative offices of its latest greenfield paper mill at Sandersdorf-Brehna in central Germany, which started production in 2020.
