Heidelberg Ranked by IndustryWeek in Top 100 Companies in the World
08/28/2000
United States publication, IndustryWeek, ranks Heidelberg as one
of best managed companies in the world.
Heidelberg joins other top companies in the world including ABB, IBM, Nokia and Porsche as one of IndustryWeek's top managed companies in the world.
"We are pleased to be included with other leading global companies on IndustryWeek's list," said Bernhard Schreier, CEO of Heidelberg. "This award affirms our commitment to our customers and the print media industry."
IndustryWeek looked at a variety of considerations in the selection process. "These companies not only consistently demonstrate an ability to grow sales and profits; they also invest in their employees, new technologies, the environment, safety, and their local communities", said John Brandt, publisher and editor-in-chief of IndustryWeek. "Faced with consolidation, the challenges of globalization, and a quickening pace of change, our elite group of winners is poised to outperform their competitors far into the new millennium."
Candidates for the World's 100 Best-Managed Companies were drawn from the IndustryWeek 1000, a list of the world's largest publicly held manufactu- ring companies based on data compiled by Waltham, Massachusetts-based Primark Corp. Best-Managed Companies winners from 1999 along with more than 100 additional finalists were considered for the honor by a panel of international business leaders, analysts, academicians, and IW editors. Each nominee also was asked to complete a questionnaire detailing its strongest performance in the areas of people, market development, techno- logy, processes, and social responsibility. IW editors then selected the final 100 based on the results of a proprietary financial formula, questionnaires, company information, and panelist votes.
This is Heidelberg's second appearance on the list, the first being in 1999. Highlights noted by IndustryWeek include Heidelberg's position as the leading global manufacturer of printing machinery with sales in more than 170 countries worldwide.
