Heidelberg’s Sales Flat, but New Products and Organization Promise Long-Term Profitability

Stable business development in 2011/2012 amid economic uncertainty
“The second half of financial year 2011/2012, in particular, was shaped by great uncertainty. However, the positive results of the leading trade show drupa showed that confidence within the industry is returning and that the reticence to invest is slowly abating,” said company CEO Bernhard Schreier. “At drupa, Heidelberg presented itself impressively as market leader, innovator, and integrator of new technologies. We have developed the right solutions in response to global trends within the industry and have integrated suitable applications from strategic partners—we could thus set us apart from the competition in a clearly positive way.”
