The significant uptick in demand in most key sales regions was in clear evidence at the recent customer events organised by Heidelberg. For the first time in over a year, the company was once again able to welcome a relatively large number of customers to the new look Print Media Centre at its Wiesloch-Walldorf site. To coincide with It’s Showtime! – the company’s international digital event for which several thousand participants from more than 100 countries registered – Heidelberg also welcomed several hundred existing and potential customers from Germany, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria to Wiesloch-Walldorf over the course of three days.
One highlight of the presentations that was of particular interest to visitors was the world premiere of the new Speedmaster CX 104, which the company also unveiled simultaneously at the China Print trade show.
‘We are seeing growing demand from our customers. The market is returning. Print shops in many countries are investing again and are choosing state of the art equipment solutions from Heidelberg,’ said CEO Rainer Hundsdörfer.
‘Innovations are paying off and ensuring both our customers and our own company are fit for the challenges of the future,’ he added.
The technology concept behind the new universal Speedmaster CX 104 press has already won over a number of customers including Chiemgau-Druck in Traunstein, Germany, and Officine Grafiche Staged in San Zeno Naviglio, Italy.
‘Customers worldwide have already ordered over 500 of the new Speedmaster CX 104 printing units,’ revealed Rainer Wolf, head of product management sheetfed at Heidelberg. ‘We are confident this innovation is exactly what the industry has been waiting for and can give customers precisely what they need right now.’
