Heidelberg Presents Figures for First Six Months

In the Postpress Division (finishing), half-yearly sales were 186 million Euro (previous year: 174 million Euro). Incoming orders were 215 million Euro (previous year: 178 million Euro). The result of operating activities achieved break-even (previous year: minus two million Euro).

Sales in the EMEA, North America, Latin America and Eastern Europe regions in the first half year exceeded the comparable figures for the previous year. In the Asia/Pacific region, sales figures were almost on a par with the high levels of the previous year. The temporary suspension of the tax exemption in China had a decelerating effect on incoming orders and sales.
