Heidelberg: HEI Value and HEI Performance stand for the added
value and technical know-how that help users achieve success
During drupa 2008, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG
(Heidelberg) is showcasing a broad range of end-to-end solutions
spanning all aspects of offset printing. The world market leader
will be using a display area of over 7,800 square meters
(approximately 84,000 square feet) to demonstrate a diverse range
of print jobs from all relevant segments. From prepress through
press to postpress - every single stage is integrated using
the various modules of the Prinect workflow software. This huge
portfolio gives Heidelberg customers the tools they need to cope
with the cost pressures in the industry.
Heidelberg is taking part in the trade show presentation
under the slogans "HEI Performance" and "HEI
Value". Visitors to drupa will be able to see for themselves
the powerful solutions that create real added value for customers.
During the trade show, the entire Heidelberg portfolio will be
further enhanced by a comprehensive range of service offerings,
advice, and various specialist tours.
"The primary aim behind our comprehensive portfolio is
to ensure our customers' success. Simply producing machinery that
works well is far from satisfying the needs of customers in our
sector. What really matters is the level of integration,
transparency and of course productivity of the various systems.
We are the only company in the world that can offer all these
things from a single source," explained Dr. Jürgen
Rautert, Member of the Management Board at Heidelberg during a
press conference in Düsseldorf. "And what's more, we
don't just talk about this integration know-how, we also make it
available to our customers to use in real life," he stated,
adding that Heidelberg is taking part in this year's industry
Olympics as a true "decathlete". Elaborating on the
metaphor, he described how the various requirements and disciplines
of the print media industry have been brought together in this
ultimate event - the individual disciplines have been honed in
tandem, enabling Heidelberg to offer an all-in-one package that is
unrivalled in the industry.
In the words of Bernhard Schreier, Chief Executive Officer of
Heidelberg - this type of integration is both achievable and
crucial. "drupa will provide the entire industry with new
impetus and direction," stated Schreier, who explained how
more and more customers are discovering all the advantages enjoyed
by an integrated print shop - an essential in the sector.
Heidelberg is the only supplier to offer all these benefits from a
single source.
Heidelberg is also focusing on packaging printing. By moving
into the large-format market (with the Speedmaster XL 145 and
Speedmaster XL 162), the company's portfolio is being extended
upwards. Thanks to its special workflow components developed
specifically for this segment and an accompanying range of
platesetters, Heidelberg is again the only supplier to cover the
entire production line.
Heidelberg has incorporated environmental protection into its
"extra-large print shop" at the show. Both halls have FSC
certification. "We take our responsibility to look after the
environment seriously," declared Dr. Jürgen Rautert.
"That is why we are introducing the first ever international
environmental award for sustainable sheetfed offset printing at
drupa 2008. The award will be presented for the sustainable use of
resources and energy, climate protection and environmentally aware
business practices," continued Dr. Jürgen Rautert.
During the trade show, the Heidelberg portfolio will be
further enhanced by a comprehensive range of service offerings,
advice, and various specialist tours.
