Key Milestones in PROGRESSIUM’s Growth
The Origins of PROGRESSIUM
Before founding PROGRESSIUM, Jean-Paul Zeitline built a dual experience as both franchisor and multi-franchisee in the car rental industry.
He then supported various brands in structuring and launching their franchise networks — including Meilleurtaux.com, Attila Système, Babychou Services, and Rénoval — experiences that laid the foundation for what would become PROGRESSIUM’s unique approach: pragmatic, result-oriented, and deeply rooted in franchise field expertise.
