Heidelberg has said it is pleased with its showing at drupa. The company’s stand attracted a great deal of interest from customers around the world, who also invested in the innovations on show.
The large number of orders placed during the event has led to a recovery in incoming orders at Heidelberg at the start of financial year 2024/2025 and, consequently, to higher capacity utilisation in production. Short time working at the German sites will end as early as June 2024.
“Our drupa team won over customers with a fabulous stand and future-proof innovations. The positive spirit among customers and staff alike was simply mind-blowing,” says David Schmedding, Head of Sales and Marketing and Board Member for Sales and Service with effect from July 1. “Heidelberg is a true partner of the printing and packaging industry. The large number of orders placed across all technologies during the trade show emphasises our customers’ trust in the company as a leading system provider,” he adds.
