At the "Print" trade fair in Chicago, Heidelberg takes orders worth US $ 345 million
Successful sales launch of NexPress digital color press

Heidelberg, Germany / Chicago, USA (ots)

Heidelberger
Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is continuing to expand its leading
position on the world market. At this year's largest trade fair for
the graphic arts industry, Print 01 (September 6-13, 2001, Chicago),
Heidelberg received orders worth US $ 345 million, of which more than
50 per cent were contributed to the Sheetfed division. "The results
from Chicago were very pleasing and met with our expectations despite
the fact that the trade fair was severely affected by the
consequences of the terrible attacks in the USA", said Chairman of
the Management Board, Bernhard Schreier.
The attacks meant the actual number of visitors was less than the
organizers had predicted. Since the events of the last few days at
the fair have made it impossible to maintain the normal running of
the exhibition, the event can now no longer be regarded as an
decisive indicator of performance for the rest of the fiscal year.
"It is hard to tell as yet what possible effects the current
situation in the USA will have on the world economy", stated Bernhard
Schreier.
The sales launch of the NexPress 2100, the digital color press
from the joint venture with Kodak, was very successful. More than 70
units were sold in Chicago. As of now Heidelberg offers this system
exclusively via its own sales channel. This means that, Heidelberg
can offer a complete range of digital print products - both
black/white and color.
"This is an important step for our company in its drive to be a
leading player on this major growth market.  We want to take a
leading role in the digital market," explained Holger Reichardt,
board member Sales and Marketing.
