CEO Schreier Leaving Heidelberger Druckmaschinen

Both the company’s supervisory board and Schreier himself feel now is the right time to make the change in order to create new impetus at the very top of the company. Dr. Linzbach, 56, was unanimously approved by the board.

“I would like to thank Bernhard Schreier for his achievements as Heidelberg CEO,” said Robert Koehler, chairman of the supervisory board of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen. “In a career spanning a total of 37 years, 13 of them as CEO, he has truly made his mark on the company and has succeeded in guiding it through two major global economic crises and structural upheaval in the printing industry. Particularly in very difficult recent times, he has helped transform Heidelberg from a traditional press manufacturer into a solution and service provider in the print media industry.
