HEIDELBERG, GERMANY—Press manufacturer Heidelberg reported that its preliminary results were in line with its projected forecast, which reflected a drop in sales and profit for fiscal year 2009-2010 (April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010). Sales stood at 2.371 billion euro, down from 2.999 billion euro. Preliminary orders did see a significant uptick in the second half of the fiscal year.

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be showcasing the Speedmaster CX 102 at IPEX 2010. This will mark the world premiere of a new printing press for industrial offset printing with a production speed of 16,500 sheets per hour.

Preliminary sales by the Heidelberg Group fell to EUR 2.306 billion, compared to EUR 2.999 billion for the previous year.

The graduates are the product of a three-year program that begins with a two-month comprehensive on-boarding at Heidelberg USA’s headquarters in Kennesaw.

The system executes precision 4-side trims and strip cuts without human intervention, reducing manpower and dramatically increasing efficiency.
