175 years of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen: Company starts anniversary year with growth strategy

Growth strategy: medium-term sales potential of more than € 300 million Growth drivers in the core business: packaging, digital printing Software and lifecycle business Industrial business: focus on further expansion 175 years: the company has been shaping the printing industry for decades with technological innovations, quality and reliability Numerous anniversary activities throughout the year HEIDELBERG, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 8 January 2025 – Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) is entering its anniversary year 2025 with a growth strategy: March 11, 2025, marks the 175th anniversary of the company’s founding. What began over a century and a half ago as a bell foundry in Frankenthal in the Palatinate region of Germany, has since developed into a leading global technology company and total solutions provider for print shops and packaging applications. HEIDELBERG is tackling the challenges of the future with a clear growth strategy. March 11, 2025 marks the 175th anniversary of the founding of HEIDELBERG. The automatic platen press introduced in 1921 is HEIDELBERG’s best and longest seller with a printing capacity of 3,000 sheets per hour and is the epitome of precision, performance and reliability. “To expand our market position, we are increasingly tapping into growth potential in our core business in packaging and digital printing as well as in the software and lifecycle business,” says Jürgen Otto, CEO of HEIDELBERG. “We will also continue to expand our offering in the growing green technologies market. This includes key areas such as high-precision mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, charging infrastructure and software, and new hydrogen technologies.” In total, HEIDELBERG sees growth potential of more than € 300 million in sales for all strategic initiatives by the 2028/2029 financial year, while at the same time consolidating performance and increasing efficiency. Packaging market has seen significant growth since 2014 HEIDELBERG is benefiting from the constantly growing global demand for packaging. The end customer market for packaging has grown by more than 6o percent worldwide over the past ten years. In cooperation with Solenis, HEIDELBERG is responding to the global trend away from plastic and foil towards paper-based packaging and will in future offer solutions for printing recyclable packaging, particularly for the food industry. The company already generates more than 50 percent of its turnover in the packaging segment. And the trend is clearly upward. HEIDELBERG seizes opportunities in growing industrial digital printing According to market estimates, the global digital printing market accessible to HEIDELBERG, including service and consumables, will grow from around EUR 5 billion today to EUR 7.5 billion by 2029. HEIDELBERG has significantly expanded its offering, including through its cooperation with Canon. This will significantly increase sales of digital printing solutions. Incoming orders already confirm this from the next financial year. International business with high potential HEIDELBERG sees a lever for more sales growth in its strong international presence in around 170 countries worldwide, with one of the largest global sales and service networks. The company will continue to expand this internationalization, particularly in growth markets such as Asia, the USA and emerging markets. HEIDELBERG has the best prerequisites for this, particularly in China, thanks to its local production and partnership with MK Masterwork. More than 85 percent of the company’s business is already conducted outside Germany. Focus on expanding industrial business in the Technology segment Another focus is on HEIDELBERG’s industrial business to open up new product areas, markets, and industries. To this end, the company has extensive skills, expertise and resources that are currently already being used outside the printing industry, particularly in the fields of high-precision mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, electromobility and hydrogen. The company is also increasingly offering its expertise and installed capacities to other companies in order to efficiently industrialize or manufacture their products. 175 years: the company has been shaping the printing industry for decades with technological innovations, quality and reliability HEIDELBERG has been shaping the printing industry for 175 years with innovations, top quality and maximum reliability. Throughout its history, the company has repeatedly set new standards with pioneering developments such as the “Original Heidelberger Tiegel” and the “Speedmaster” model series for sheetfed offset printing. “175 years of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen are a strong testimony to consistency, as well as innovative strength and thus future viability,” says Jürgen Otto. “Thanks to its impressive achievements over the past 175 years, the company is looking forward to further growth in the coming years with its current market position, the expertise of its employees and global customer relationships.” Numerous anniversary activities throughout the year Together with customers, employees and partners, HEIDELBERG is celebrating its anniversary year with numerous events and activities. In the summer, for example, there will be a week of celebrations at the Wiesloch-Walldorf headquarters in the newly designed demonstration center – the Home of Print – including an anniversary ceremony with guests from all over the world, i.e. customers, suppliers, partners and representatives from politics and society. Family days are planned for employees at individual locations. In addition, there will be an anniversary magazine in which the history of the company will be presented, and the future will be directed. With around 9,500 employees worldwide, production facilities in several countries and regions, including China and the USA, as well as the densest sales and service network in the industry, HEIDELBERG is now a true global player and world market leader from Germany. “Our history impressively demonstrates how entrepreneurship, technical expertise and the genuine creative power of our employees can have a lasting impact on a company over such a long period of time and, far beyond that, on an entire industry to this day,” Otto continues. Images and further information about the company are available on the Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG press portal at www.heidelberg.com.

This Week’s JS-SEZ Agreement Could Boost Malaysia’s GDP by RM19.8 Billion Within a Decade

This week’s signing of the agreement to create the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is a landmark that will transform real estate markets in both countries, according to comments released today by Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group CEO Kashif Ansari. Firm Economic Benefits “Depending on how much the two countries commit to the SEZ,” said Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group CEO Kashif Ansari, “we expect it to drive new foreign direct investment, manufacturing activity, tourism, and real estate activity in Johor. That growth will have spillover effects for the rest of Malaysia, spreading the benefits more widely. “In a positive scenario, Johor would experience more rapid economic growth, resulting in an estimated 0.5 to 0.9 percent to the GDP growth. This could contribute RM 20 billion in the short run and could exceed RM 30 to 50 billion, depending on the magnitude, scale, and size of the project at the macro level. This is in line with our forecast projected in the latest report of the IMF, where it forecasts Malaysia’s 2025 GDP will be RM2.245 trillion (US$488.25 billion), based on the premise that massive FDI is coming from China and the USA.” Kashif remains optimistic about the economic outlook of these SEZ regions. Real Estate Demand to Grow “The SEZ will begin to attract more businesses and individuals to Johor. Greater activity will increase demand in the residential, office, industrial, and logistics real estate markets and boost prices for developable land. “We can see the impact on real estate transaction volume and values has increased. However, you could expect to see a further reduction in the residential overhang in Johor. Homeowners could benefit from value growth, and commercial and industrial real estate markets could benefit from increased demand.” “We can see the huge impact and increase in real estate transaction volume and values. New and greater opportunities are on the horizon with the launch of amazing projects that have been met with great response. These projects fit the pricing and location criteria and preference of the market, making them highly desirable.” Key Facts About the Special Economic Zone “When you have a near-seamless flow of goods, people, and businesses between Johor and Singapore, both economies will accelerate. Companies won’t have to choose to locate in either Malaysia or Singapore, because the JS-SEZ will give them the advantages of both countries plus additional incentives. “Singapore will provide capital, technology, and expertise, while Malaysia will contribute a highly skilled workforce, renewable energy, land, and other resources. By reducing the cost of transport and taxes, the SEZ will allow firms to grow more quickly, hire more workers, and take risks they otherwise could not. “One big-ticket infrastructure item is riding on the success of the new Special Economic Zone. If the SEZ is successful, it will give momentum to those who want to relaunch the high-speed rail project connecting Singapore and Malaysia.”
