Heidelberg Uses Qingpu Site to Open Up New Markets in China

HEIDELBERG, GERMANY—July 18, 2012—The Qingpu site of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) near Shanghai has developed according to plan and established an excellent position on the Chinese market. The company now assembles standard offset presses and folding machines here on a production area of around 45,000 m2 (approximately 484,000 square feet). Heidelberg is thus unlocking the considerable potential of the Chinese market, which is now the company's largest single market. Over 750 of the four-color Speedmaster SM 52, the Speedmaster SM 74-4 with high-pile delivery presses and the Speedmaster CD 102 have been supplied since the site was established in Qingpu in 2005.
