"Our Tiegel press, still in use by some customers more than a century later, is a prime example of lasting quality. Over the decades, we've introduced milestones that redefined the industry — from the Speedmaster series in 1975 to early international expansions, such as our factory in China, which now contributes to a 60% market share in that region.
But HEIDELBERG’s journey has never been just about building machines. It’s about creating solutions that empower printers, brand owners, and publishers to meet the evolving demands of a global marketplace."
"Today, HEIDELBERG is much more than a mechanical engineering company. We are a system integrator. Our customers need more than individual machines — they need seamless, intelligent ecosystems that cover every step of the production chain.
That’s why we now offer end-to-end solutions spanning prepress, press, and postpress, integrated into a single, smart workflow. From offset to digital, toner to inkjet, and even flexo. across all format classes, HEIDELBERG technology works as one integrated overall system. With the introduction of the Cartonmaster CX 145, we’re also proud to mark our return to the Very Large Format (VLF) space, a key step in offering complete solutions across market segments.
And while our history gives us credibility, it's our innovation that defines our future. From the Jetfire 50 to our hybrid offset-digital workflows, we’re combining traditional strengths with breakthrough technologies. These developments, supported by robotics, AI, and lifecycle intelligence, make us unique in the industry."
"Our strategy also includes extending our expertise into adjacent industrial sectors. One example is our work in electromobility — developing wallboxes and charging software. As energy infrastructure becomes increasingly digital and decentralized, our experience in automation and system integration is proving valuable well beyond the print industry."
"The core of our strategy remains clear: we aim to make print shops more autonomous, more connected, and more future-proof. Our Prinect workflow is central to this vision — powered by AI, it connects every aspect of production, from file to finished product. Already, every Speedmaster we ship includes smart assistant systems designed to optimize performance in real time.
But even the most advanced hardware and software only succeed when paired with the right support. That’s why our global service network, our people, and our customer relationships remain at the heart of everything we do."
"One of our most important milestones is our newly opened Home of Print—the world’s largest and most advanced showroom for the print industry. More than a showcase for machines, it’s a hub for collaboration, learning, and inspiration.
This 9,000 square meter facility reflects what HEIDELBERG stands for today: not just mechanical precision, but innovation ecosystems, long-term partnerships, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
After 175 years, we are just getting started."
