Heidelberg renews labels focus following sale of digital and web offset divisions

Heidelberg is handing over its Digital division to Eastman Kodak Co. and its Web Offset division to Goss International. ‘The two portfolio decisions will decisively accelerate our realignment process’, said Bernhard Schreier, CEO of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG. ‘From now on, Heidelberg will strengthen its focus on the Sheetfed Offset business in order to optimally serve commercial, packaging and label printers with a comprehensive product portfolio. We are convinced that this strategy will lead Heidelberg back to profitability very quickly.’
