Heidelberg Announces Preliminary Figures for 2007/2008

The Postpress Division (finishing) failed to meet the targets set. Exchange rate movements and the reluctance of U.S. printshops to invest were the main reasons for the division’s preliminary sales, incoming orders and operating result falling below the previous year’s level. Preliminary sales amounted to 427 million Euro (previous year: 445 million Euro), preliminary incoming orders were 419 million Euro (previous year: 449 million Euro), and the preliminary operating result minus 7 million Euro (previous year: 7 million Euro).
