Digital Digest: Heidelberg Digital Sneak Peek Reveals New Strategy

"We looked for the best partners to add the best pieces to our solution," Linzbach told a room full of international journalists and industry analysts assembled here for the "Digital Sneak Peek" event early last month.

"We understand the customer knows best. This sounds a bit philosophical, but Heidelberg was an extremely proud company. We are a much more humble company now," he stressed, pointing out that Heidelberg's employee ranks have shrunk from 20,000 to 13,000 people and referencing the financial difficulties faced by Heidelberg in recent years.
