Hokuriku Sunrise opts for Heideklberg Subscription

The subscription agreement with Heidelberg includes a Speedmaster CD 102-4, which replaces two competitor presses, all consumables, service, including service parts, workflow, training and consulting services. The converter can order consumables and service parts online. As part of the agreement, Heidelberg also manages the inventory of consumables and service parts on behalf of the customer. 

‘When I first heard about the new Heidelberg Subscription business model, I was initially skeptical as to whether this might actually be an option for Japanese print companies in general and our company. But in the end, we were completely convinced by the benefits of the offer. Without major one-time investments, we will be using the latest printing technology in combination with the right consumables. At the same time, we benefit from Heidelberg's high level of service and consulting expertise. We are therefore convinced that, together with Heidelberg, we will succeed in maximizing productivity,’ said Kenichiro Kimura, president of Hokuriku Sunrise.

‘Heidelberg Subscription is an interesting option for print shops in Japan,’ added Jörg Bauer, sales manager and member of the management board of Heidelberg Japan. ‘In a highly industrialized country like Japan, increasing productivity is a top priority for most print companies. With the subscription option, we have created a win-win offer for our customers in which the interests of both parties to the contract are absolutely aligned.’
