Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) offers customers a complete solution portfolio for industrial digital printing that covers the growing requirements for quality, productivity, customization, and availability in commercial and label printing. The company’s portfolio ranges from toner solutions and inkjet systems for commercial printing to in-house inkjet digital label printing innovations that are utilized in digital printing systems from Gallus. All presses are integrated into the digital ecosystem from HEIDELBERG that includes Prinect workflow integration, consumables, service, training, and postpress.
HEIDELBERG leverages longstanding expertise in the digital sector
For many print shops, run lengths are shrinking, but the actual number of orders is continuing to grow. To handle this kind of job structure cost-effectively, print shops need flexible, highly automated, and integrated digital printing systems. That is why, when it comes to the commercial market, HEIDELBERG is working with partners such as Ricoh and Canon on print solutions and with C.P. Bourg and Technau on postpress solutions. Through these partnerships, HEIDELBERG aims to offer customers fully integrated and hybrid end-to-end solutions in combination with its offset printing presses. By adopting this strategy, HEIDELBERG is underscoring its position as a fully comprehensive systems integrator in the industry.
Flexible and industrial solutions for the cost-efficient production of short and personalized runs in the commercial sector
Digital and hybrid solutions from Gallus for the growing label market support industrial performance and profitable production
The growing label market is all about speed, flexibility, and quality. Highly automated and, increasingly, hybrid solutions are a crucial prerequisite for profitable production.
“As a total solution provider for the entire sector, HEIDELBERG offers its customers complete solutions for digital end-to-end production, which print shops can use to boost their profitability and competitiveness,” points out Dr. David Schmedding, Chief Technology & Sales Officer at HEIDELBERG. “Together with our technology partners, we create integrated solutions and hybrid production environments that deliver optimum quality, efficiency, and flexibility. HEIDELBERG is the systems integrator that links together all the components to create a single, high-performance, and fully comprehensive system.”
