The portfolio of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) was
received with great interest at ExpoPrint Latin America 2010, which
took place from June 23 to 29 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The company
exhibited a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art technologies
and services under the slogan
HEI Performance - HEI Value. The spotlight was trained on
the cost-effective and environmentally friendly production of print
products. On an area of 1,500 m², Heidelberg covered the
entire value-added chain for advertising and packaging printing -
from prepress to press and postpress, including workflow
integration, Saphira consumables, Original Heidelberg service
parts, service agreements, and other services. Visitors also had
the opportunity during the trade show to tour the Print Media
Academy of Heidelberg in Sao Paulo and find out about the biggest
range of training courses for the print media industry in South
America.
New Speedmaster CX 102 makes its debut in South America
The new Speedmaster CX 102 sheetfed offset press - which
Heidelberg unveiled at IPEX in Birmingham in May 2010, quickly
leading to more than 20 sales worldwide - has now celebrated its
premiere in South America. Customers from Brazil also placed orders
for the new Speedmaster CX 102 at ExpoPrint.
Designed for industrial offset printing, this press is
capable of reaching production speeds of 16,500 sheets per hour and
lies between the Speedmaster SM 102 / CD 102 and the Speedmaster XL
105. This press puts the finishing touch to the Heidelberg 70 x 100
cm format and provides up- coming print shops in emerging markets
in particular with attractive cutting-edge technology.
"Alongside China, Brazil is an important up- coming market
for Heidelberg and offers great potential for further growth in the
print media industry. This is also underlined by the numerous sales
that were made at ExpoPrint with a large number of small and
medium-sized businesses and industrial companies from all over the
region. We expect the emerging markets to play an increasingly
important role in our business development in the years ahead,"
says Bernhard Schreier, Heidelberg Chief Executive Officer.
Dieter Brandt, Head of South America/Lead Market Sao Paulo at
Heidelberg, adds: "Heidelberg has been a reliable partner for
customers in South America for decades. Numerous trade show
visitors from across Latin America came to our booth to find out
how Heidelberg can help them increase their competitive edge
through cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art services, and
complete solutions from a single source. We are therefore
very pleased with the outcome of the trade show."
ExpoPrint Latin America was being held for the second time
after its debut in 2006. The event had been fully booked since the
end of 2009, with over 400 exhibitors on an area of 30,000 m2. More
than 35,000 visitors from across the region passed through the
doors during the event.
