Heidelberg has been selected MDAX-Winner by institutional investors
On Monday evening, the news magazine FOCUS and the financial magazine FOCUS-MONEY presented the "German Investor Relations Prize" for the fifth time. At the event, which took place at Messe Frankfurt in the course of the annual conference of the German Investor Relations Association (D.I.R.K.), six of the best companies listed in the DAX, MDAX and Neuer Markt were awarded for their excellent investor relations work.
Analysts and institutional fund managers assigned Heidelberg the first place in the MDAX category, followed by Deutsche Börse AG and Jenoptik AG. In the course of a survey held in 16 countries around the world in March 2002, some 10.000 private investors and more than 800 analysts and fund managers complimented the six winners for their fair, open and up-to-date information policy.
"Heidelberg is very proud to be among the six best companies", said Dr. Herbert Meyer, chief financial officer of Heidelberger Druck. "We are happy that our efforts for an open and transparent information policy, even in the face of a difficult economic climate, are being honoured in this way. Many thanks to our analysts and investors for this very special award."
