The initiative, part of the HEIDELBERG Asia Pacific Customer Engagement Program, brought together more than 150 delegates from over 10 countries across the region. From India, 50 participants representing prominent print hubs from Mumbai, Goa, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Sivakasi participated in the tour. Customers from both the commercial and packaging segments of the industry joined the delegation, reflecting the diverse interests and evolving needs of the Indian print community.

The itinerary commenced on May 14 at the Print Media Center in Shanghai, where attendees experienced live demonstrations of the Speedmaster CX 104-8+LYYL X3 and CX 92 four colour presses. Guests were also given a guided walk-through of HEIDELBERG’s cutting-edge production facility, offering insights into the company’s advanced press manufacturing processes and technological prowess.

On May 15, the delegation travelled to Tianjin to visit the MK Masterwork plant, where they explored the full spectrum of MK’s innovative packaging solutions. The visit featured a deep dive into MK’s precision-driven manufacturing from engineering and design to assembly, highlighting the company’s commitment to automation and scale.

The tour culminated at China Print 2025 in Beijing, held under the theme “Unfold Your Potential." HEIDELBERG’s impressive showcase at the exhibition was anchored by the Speedmaster CX 104-8LYYL+1+L, a versatile A1 format press tailored for high-end commercial and packaging applications. Also on display were the Speedmaster XL 75 8+L, known for its high-performance multi colour capability, and the Jetfire 50, HEIDELBERG’s latest digital press innovation.

One of the key attractions at the HEIDELBERG booth was the Customer Digital Transformation Arena, which demonstrated a seamlessly integrated workflow featuring Prinect workflow software, delivering next-generation automation for print production.

Reflecting on the success of the initiative, Samir Patkar, President of HEIDELBERG India, said, “We are truly thrilled by the enthusiastic participation and engagement at China Print 2025. This tour offered a unique platform to reconnect with our valued customers, showcase breakthrough innovations, and celebrate the future of print. We’re especially proud that several strategic deals were concluded during the event, reaffirming our commitment to the Indian print and packaging industry.”

Mr Manjunath, Director – Global Printing & Packaging, Bengaluru, shared his reflections on the tour, “The entire China visit was a truly eye-opening experience, especially for those of us focused on packaging. The guided tours at the HEIDELBERG Print Media Centre in Shanghai and MK Masterwork in Tianjin offered an up-close view of some of the most advanced technologies in action. Visiting local packaging print facilities added even more depth — it was impressive to witness how efficiently operations are run. China Print itself was a great platform to explore the latest trends and innovations shaping the future of packaging.”

He further added, “We are thankful to HEIDELBERG India for organizing this insightful tour, especially to the leading packaging companies in China. It was inspiring to see how manpower is being optimally utilized — an area where we can draw valuable lessons. The focus on reducing manual intervention and boosting Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) stood out. Another key takeaway was the confirmation that machines manufactured at HEIDELBERG China match the same high standards as those from HEIDELBERG Germany.”

This landmark customer outreach initiative reinforces HEIDELBERG India’s ongoing commitment to fostering industry collaboration, enabling cutting-edge technology adoption, and driving innovation across the country’s print and packaging landscape.
