Heidelberg opens US demonstration center

Heidelberger has announced it will move its North American headquarters to a new facility in Marietta, Georgia, where the Print Media Center Americas – Home of Print will feature a showroom and training center for customers to experience the company's latest technologies and end-to-end print and packaging market offerings.

The Marietta facility will feature modern workspaces for approximately 400 US-based employees, with 50 percent of the space dedicated to demonstration and training, supporting customers in the US, Canada and Mexico as well as hosting industry events, workshops and customer meetings.

'We want the Home of Print to be a place where employees and customers alike have opportunities to network and learn. It's where people come together to connect, share ideas and work together,' said Clarence Penge, president of Heidelberg USA.

The purpose-built training center for operators, maintenance teams and staff will continue to offer its full curriculum of free operator and maintenance training courses, which it introduced in 2022 to address the industry's growing need for skilled operators and continuous education.

'This move affirms our focus on driving innovation, supporting education and encouraging collaboration. We're excited for this facility to support the next generation of print professionals,' added Penge.

Heidelberg's new North American headquarters will open for employees in early 2026, with a grand opening event planned later this year.
