Heidelberg held its traditional end-of-year press briefing this week against a backdrop of extraordinary events in the industry and beyond.
With the situation at insolvent rival Manroland in flux, and the ongoing crisis in the Eurozone yet to be resolved, the world’s largest printing equipment manufacturer reaffirmed its confidence in the future of the industry.
Chairman and chief executive Bernhard Schreier said: "Printing volumes in the future will at worst be no lower than today, but they will change in scope and volumes... the printed word is not on its way out, not now or in the future."
