Heidelberg Second-Quarter, Six-Month Results in Line with Expectations

The order situation at Heidelberg was around or above the previous year’s level in the individual regions at the half-year mark and was thus in line with expectations. The 40 percent year-on-year increase in the North America region was particularly pleasing. In the Asia/Pacific region and in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the half-year figures also surpassed those of 2011/2012. In Eastern Europe, incoming orders remained at the previous year’s level while the order intake in South America fell slightly below the prior year.
