Heidelberg Withdraws From Drupa, Communications Will Be Digital The trend towards ever shorter innovation cycles in the print media industry has accelerated quickly. Digital busi- ness models are emerging in short time intervals and are constantly being modified to align with current specific customer requirements. Customers need to be informed about the latest trends quickly, flexibly and on an ongoing basis. This trend also affects customer communications at Heidelberg. Covid-19 has accelerated the move towards digital and local events. Although there is no way of knowing what the impact of corona will be, Heidelberg has decided not to participate in international trade fairs next year and will not be taking part in drupa. Instead, the company will focus on offering more new, digital options to present products and innovations. The kick-off will be at the “Innovation Week” from Octo- ber 19-23, 2020. Under the slogan ‘Unfold your potential’, Heidelberg will be presenting a wealth of product innova- tions that focus on packaging and commercial, including autonomous printing, end-to-end solutions, Smart Print Shop and Push-to-Stop. The Innovation Week will take place via livestream as well as face-to-face at the Wies- loch/Walldorf location. “We will be investing more in new, virtual trade fair con- cepts to ensure closer and more individual customer com- munications as well as in regional events in our growth markets. This means we will be able to consistently align ourselves with our customers’ expectations,” says Rainer Hundsdörfer, CEO of Heidelberg. “The Innovation Week will now enable us to communicate with our customers as soon as possible and to present our innovation offensive.” Face-to-face dialogue will continue to be the focus at the Print Media Centers in Wiesloch/Walldorf, Atlanta, Shanghai, Sao Paulo and Tokyo, where the company can engage with customers specific needs directly on-site. At the centers, Heidelberg offers all of its customers and other interested parties market-specific access to product and solution demonstrations, a multitude of possibilities for direct communications with applications specialists as well as extensive training courses.
