“We are consistently pursuing our growth strategy and further strengthening our market position with this investment,” says Maximilian Heindl, CEO of Progroup AG.
“Progroup’s latest corrugated board plant in Petersberg has been operating regularly since early August.The plant features cutting-edge technology, capable of producing up to 200,000 tons of corrugated board annually. As a family business with roots in the region, this plant is also a clear commitment to the economic location of the Palatinate (Germany).”
In Petersberg, Progroup has once again implemented its successful packaging park model. The PW15 plant is located “wall to wall” with Preißer G. & G. GmbH Packaging.
From the fully automated high-bay warehouse with 15,000 storage spaces, Progroup’s corrugated board stacks are transported directly to Preißer’s packaging production via a conveyor belt. This efficient setup saves the environment from emissions equivalent to several dozen truck trips every day.
Two highly efficient combined heat and power plants and a photovoltaic system on the roof cover the entire electricity needs of the plant when operating in two shifts. This also reduces the consumption of fossil fuels.
