Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be showcasing
numerous innovations at Graph Expo, which takes place in Chicago
from September 9-12, 2007, covering the entire value-added chain in
sheetfed offset printing. Heidelberg will present integrated
solutions for commercial and packaging printing in its 2,900
square-meter booth. This year's Graph Expo is also the first
industry event where Heidelberg will be unveiling its new HEI Tech
image campaign to the public.
"For some time, the North American market has seen
increased investment activity as large numbers of print shops need
to constantly reinforce their competitiveness internationally with
productive and high-quality solutions. Prior to drupa next year,
Graph Expo, the industry's largest forum in North America, is an
excellent opportunity to find out a wealth of information on a
range of Heidelberg solutions," says Dr. Jürgen Rautert,
Heidelberg CTO, summing up the importance of the trade show.
"We are also looking forward to showing visitors how
service is taken to the next level using a completely new product

And Jim Dunn, President of Heidelberg USA, adds:
"Visitors at Heidelberg's booth can see for themselves that we
are the only company to succeed in using an integrated workflow
system to combine its products for prepress, press, and postpress

its customers' efficiency and competitiveness."
