HEIDELBERG Integrates Manroland Sheetfed into Its Operations

The global integration of manroland sheetfed’s lifecycle and service business into the organization of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) is proceeding according to plan. 

The key implementation steps are expected to be completed within the next eighteen months. This will provide concrete benefits for existing manroland sheetfed customers: They will benefit from faster response times and access to the printing industry’s largest global service and sales network. 

Existing service relationships and trusted contacts will remain in place, and the supply of spare parts and consumables will continue seamlessly. 

The collaboration with Druck- und Verlagshaus Zarbock in Frankfurt, Germany, a traditional full-service commercial printing company with approximately 60 employees, underscores how HEIDELBERG and manroland sheetfed are quickly and successfully putting their strategies into practice for customers.

“With the integration of manroland sheetfed into HEIDELBERG, we aim to continue growing our service business and strengthen our market position,” says Dr. David Schmedding, Executive Board Member for Technology and Sales at HEIDELBERG. “The Zarbock example demonstrates the added value that this integration creates for our customers: proven technology, familiar points of contact, and the strength of the world’s largest service and sales network in the industry. This is how we deliver greater productivity, uptime, and future-proofing for our customers.”

Some of manroland sheetfed’s first customers have now also invested in HEIDELBERG printing presses, for example in Germany, Brazil, and Malta. 

In the long term, customers are set to benefit from a larger service network, additional expertise, and the HEIDELBERG ecosystem. 

In addition to traditional service operations and consumables, this includes the range of printing presses and post-press systems, as well as other products from the HEIDELBERG portfolio.
