Exclusive Update on Heidelberg’s Outlook from CEO Bernhard Schreier

Printing Impressions: What are some of the advantages that will be reaped by your announcement to move some of your small-format press production to the former Baumfolder site in Ohio? And will press production ultimately be expanded there?

Schreier: The main market for this machine, the Quickmaster QM 46, is North America (around 80 percent of the total production). And, from a long-term perspective, this machine will have its market there. Also production costs are lower in the U.S. Besides the Quickmaster QM 46, Heidelberg is not planning to extend press production in Sydney, Ohio, or at other places in the United States.
