Heidelberg Records Incoming Order Increase, Sales Decline

“In the first quarter, we were able to improve our operating result excluding special items on the previous year while sales remained stable,” said Heidelberg Group CEO Bernhard Schreier. “We are keeping a close eye on current economic developments across the globe, but it is difficult to predict what will happen. However, given the continuing high demand and strong economic growth on the Chinese market, we are assuming that the regional effects on business development at Heidelberg will be only temporary.”
