Andreas Reger will replace Markus Brettschneider, who will become the global CEO for Viega Group.

Viega plans to manufacture its ProPress and MegaPress products at the new factory in Shalersville, Ohio, outside Cleveland.

Sarah Simpson joins the Viega executive team with experience in complex global businesses, having worked previously at Baker Hughes, General Electric, and, most recently, as the CFO of Nexus Controls.

A $14 million expansion of production capacity at Viega’s McPherson, Kansas, factory, where ProPress fittings are made, will be the first phase of the project.

The Viega Experience Center will serve as a centralized hub for Viega to support and connect with its east coast customers and provide opportunities to host events and meetings.

Viega, a press fitting system that meets the standard for use on Navy combat ships, has won approval for additional components to be used onboard.

JTG Daugherty Racing has united with Viega, a worldwide player in pipe fitting installation technology for industrial, commercial, and residential projects.
