HEIDELBERG , GERMANY—  In order to cushion the disproportionately sharp rise in material, logistics, and other procurement costs, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be moderately increasing the prices for its equipment business with immediate effect. This adjustment is being made in an economic environment of rising demand and costs for raw materials and is a necessary step in order to continue offering customers innovative solutions and first-class service. "The current price development of raw materials shows an unprecedented upward momentum," said Rainer Hundsdörfer, CEO of the company. "Primarily due to the high demand from China as well as the global megatopic of electromobility, procurement costs have risen significantly in the short term. In recent months we have exhausted all possibilities to avoid an imminent price increase." All Speedmaster models in small, medium, and large formats are equipped with the new Push to Stop functions and a cloud connection as standard. Interesting innovations in the field of intelligent assistance systems and AI impressively demonstrate what is already possible today and  in the coming years.
