The Solution Provider: Transformation in the Nineties |
 |
|
The great innovation of drupa 1995 is the Quickmaster DI. It is the first pure offset machine, which allows for printing plates to be imaged directly in the machine. But Heidelberg not only presents new technologies at the trade show. It also introduces a new program that is to set the company's path for the future: the transformation from traditional printing press manufacturer to solution provider for the entire print media industry. Takeovers and joint ventures accompany this evolution which enables Heidelberg to reposition itself outside of pure press manufacturing.

Unprecedented New Standards
In a highly competitive business environment, permanent availability of machinery is increasingly important for printers. Since September 1999, the Heidelberg Group's inter- national service network can resort to the Global Logistics Center in Wies- loch for around-the-clock support and shipment of service parts. Printers in Europe can rely on 24-hour delivery of service parts.
