Despite a challenging macroeconomic climate, business developed robustly, and profitability improved significantly at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG during the first half of financial year 2025/2026 (April 1 to September 30, 2025). For example, half-year sales increased to € 985 million, up around 8 percent on the previous year’s figure of € 915 million. Europe and Asia saw particularly positive developments during this period. The second quarter contributed sales of € 519 million, far higher than the figure for the first quarter (€ 466 million) – and despite negative exchange rate effects amounting to around € 12 million compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Thanks to the healthy order situation, the company is expecting sales in the second half of the current financial year to be higher than in the first half-year, despite continuing negative exchange rate effects.
“HEIDELBERG is holding up better than the competition in a very challenging market environment and is once again demonstrating that our strategy is working and bearing fruit. The positive developments in our core segments confirm we are headed in the right direction. The significant improvement in our profitability is particularly encouraging – a clear sign that our measures are proving effective,” says CEO Jürgen Otto.
