Heidelberg

After nine months of financial year 2013/2014, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) remains on track with regard to earnings trend and profitability. After three quarters, the operating result is up significantly on the previous year.

Heidelberg executives, Dr. Gerold Linzbach, CEO of Heidelberg Druckmaschinen AG, and Harald Weimer, president of Heidelberg USA, recently visited All Color Business Specialties at its facility in Deer Park, NY. The company followed up its May 2013 installation of a Speedmaster XL 75 with a new Suprasetter 106 CtP device, and a Linoprint C751 digital printing system.

The Heidelberg video competition, "Be unbeatable. Be a Speedmaster," invites customers to submit video clips showing them and their Speedmaster presses in action. In video clips lasting around three minutes, customers are invited to explain what makes their Speedmaster unbeatable. Print shops have from February 3 to April 13, 2014 to enter the video competition.
