Better Up-to-Date than Too Late - How I Got to Heidelberg |

Marc Fassel, Printer
It all started in Ulm, at a company called Dr Karl Höhn, where I received my training as an offset printer. Having successfully finished my training, I got wanderlust, so I left for Nigeria where I spent two months training printers to work with Heidelberg printing presses. This was quite an adventure - with printing machines in the jungle, under circumstances hardly imaginable in modern Central Europe - yet the Heidelberg presses kept on going even under the most difficult conditions. The next stop on my route was Izmir in Turkey, where I worked as a print shop manager for two and a half years. Following this, I came to Heidelberg. I was invited to an interview in November 1998 and started work in January 1999.
Why I wanted to work with Heidelberg
Working with a market leader such as Heidelberg also offers you the chance to constantly improve professionally. Always being up-to-date and working with the latest technologies enables me to build on my own knowledge, improve my professional skills and learn something new every day.

Why I want to stay with Heidelberg
The company offers me the chance to further develop my knowledge in the fields of prepress, press and finishing. My work is very interesting and varied, and ranges from the presentation of printing machines, through worldwide customer support and training right up to testing new developments. I travel a lot - for example to China Print, the printing trade fair in Peking - and work together with many people all over the world, with customers from different countries, as well as printers, scientists, product developers and engineers.
The working environment at Heidelberg is also really good. Colleagues regularly talk to each other about their experiences, and help one another out. Nobody gets professionally blinkered as everyone has the chance to work together with and learn about other departments.
