Press
The Press Division, our important core business area, includes all the components, products and solutions for Prepress as well as sheetfed offset, packaging, and flexo printing. We are continually further expanding our position in package printing - a segment that remains relatively untouched by cyclical fluctuations.

Postpress
High quality finishing is becoming an increasingly important factor for the added value of printing establishments. Production measures that follow the actual printing process lend the print product its final form as well as its ultimate, often crucial finish. Printed products overall are becoming increasingly lavish in order to attract attention. Packaging makes an important contribution to brand name establishment, for example. The competitive position of our customers accordingly improves if they are able to offer product differentiation combined with top quality and reasonable prices.

Financial Services
We have merged our customer financing activities within their own division for the first time during the year 2004/2005 - although Heidelberg has already had over 15 years of experience in this area.
Why did we redefine this area of business activity? On the one hand, the decision rested on the conviction that by showing our customer financing separately, we can considerably increase the transparency of reporting. On the other hand, our 'Customer Financing' solution component is more and more often proving to be a crucial competitive advantage. In rapidly growing emerging markets, financing for medium-sized firms is frequently not available at all or only insufficiently available. And in numerous industrialized countries, new overall conditions - for example, Basel II - have resulted in a more restrictive financing policy by banks in recent years.
