Landmark 1,000th Machine Rolls Off Production Line at Heidelberg in China

Heidelberg opened the site in Qingpu in 2005 and focused on the production of folding machines. In 2006, it started producing small-format presses for the local market. The second construction phase was inaugurated in 2007, extending the production area from around 4,000 to 13,500 m2. At the same time, Heidelberg also started assembling medium-format presses there. Since mid-2009, the site has also been producing larger format presses. Heidelberg is planning to complete the third construction phase by mid-2011. This will extend the production area to 66,000 m2. In the meantime, numerous suppliers have settled around the assembly site.
