Converters show high interest in packaging workflow

A contingent of U.S. customers were among the 100+ visitors from 25 countries who attended Heidelberg’s Packaging Days, held March 19-20 at the company’s Wiesloch-Walldorf production site in Germany. Customers spent the day in Hall 11 reviewing in detail the full range of Heidelberg packaging solutions from prepress to postpress representing an area the company views as a key strategic growth investment today and for the future.
 
“The group’s excitement was palpable as customers began to envision new opportunities for their businesses, based on the products we were showing,” said Clarence Penge, Vice President, Sheetfed Product Management, Heidelberg.

“The visit was well worthwhile to see how and where Heidelberg has advanced in the packaging arena,” said Bill Lorenze, Vice President of Manufacturing for Jay Packaging, Warwick, R.I. “It was awe-inspiring to see such a spectacular assortment of solutions assembled in one place, and to see and talk with people from around the world.”
 
In order to justify its customers’ faith in Heidelberg’s expanded packaging portfolio, the company recently announced that it would centralize and consolidate its packaging R&D in Hall 11 at the Wiesloch-Walldorf facility, including production and assembly of all Dymatrix die-cutters. The company has also established a Packaging Competence Center in Hall 11 in Wiesloch-Walldorf for presentations, training and customer application testing.
