Customers Invest in Heidelberg Offset Press Solutions

DUSSELDORF, GERMANY—May 9, 2012—Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) has made a successful start to the drupa trade show and is pleased with customers’ investments.

“drupa 2012 is giving the industry the investment impetus that had been anticipated. At the show halftime, Heidelberg has already concluded numerous contracts from around the globe and in all commercial and packaging printing sectors across the entire product portfolio. We are equally confident about the rest of the trade show,” stated Bernhard Schreier, CEO of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.

Heidelberg successful in large-format market in China
The large-format presses introduced by Heidelberg at drupa 2008 have also become firmly established in China. Packaging printer Huizhou City Guopeng Printing Co. has invested in the Speedmaster XL 162 flagship printer with five inking units and one coating unit. Changchun Boshiheng Printing, the largest commercial printer in north-east China, has opted for the same configuration. It has also ordered a Speedmaster CD 102 from the Heidelberg production facilities in China and a Polar cutting system, and has therefore invested in a complete Heidelberg solution.
