Exclusive Update on Heidelberg’s Outlook from CEO Bernhard Schreier

Printing Impressions: How will the announced restructuring of your R&D efforts impact future product development?

Schreier: In the past years, we spent a lot of money to create a new printing press platform, which is called XL. This was now shown at Drupa in all formats. This platform development is completed, which leads us to less spending in the next few years. Our R&D activities are fully driven by the needs of our customers. Apart from that, we also develop into new technological fields to be able to continuously stay ahead of the competition in the sheetfed press market.
