Heidelberg Releases Final Half-Year Figures, Including Stable Sales

The order situation at Heidelberg continues to vary from region to region. While incoming orders for the first six months in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the South America regions were down on the relevant figures for the previous year, which had been boosted by trade shows in these areas, the Asia/Pacific and Eastern Europe regions matched the previous year’s level (after adjustment for exchange rate effects) and the North America region saw a slight improvement on the previous year’s weak incoming orders. Sales were up on the previous year’s figure in the North America, South America, and Asia/Pacific regions after adjustment for exchange rate effects. In the Europe, Middle East and Africa and Eastern Europe regions, on the other hand, they were below the previous year’s figure after adjustment for exchange rate effects.
