“With our anticipated expansion into new market opportunities, attracting top talent and investing in staff development will be critical to success,” Forlenza says, adding that his focus is on fostering a collaborative culture to ensure Schreiner Group continues to exceed customer expectations.

Forlenza’s extensive experience in the specialty chemicals industry – and adhesives in particular – aligns well with Schreiner Group’s core product offerings. Overall, his career has spanned manufacturing, sales, marketing, and strategy, giving him a well-rounded perspective. His hands-on approach, reputation for problem-solving, and consistent focus on customer satisfaction position him to successfully lead Schreiner Group’s US operations.
