Heidelberg Enjoys Success at Polygraphinter in Moscow
10/24/2005
First implementations in Russia for the Speedmaster XL 105 and
Suprasetter 74
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) showcased its range of solutions to over 10,000 visitors and customers at the Russian trade show Polygraphinter, which took place in Moscow from October 10-16, 2005. At over 1,000 squaremeter, the Heidelberg booth was the largest at the fair. "There's been a shift in mindset in Russia towards high-quality print products," explained Bernhard Schreier, CEO at Heidelberg. "We're delighted to be able to provide solutions that offer high print quality and sharpen users' competitive edge," he added. The show saw the unveiling of a project to implement the first Speedmaster XL 105 six-color press with coating unit in Russia. This press is currently being installed at the St. Petersburg-based printshop Polygraphoformlenie Offset XXI Century. The same customer has also ordered the Diana 114 Pro folder gluer, which means it will receive a complete packaging printing solution. Another printshop to order a complete solution was Kella, also from St. Petersburg, who will have the distinction of being the first Russian customer to install the Suprasetter 74 CtP platesetter. It has also ordered a Speedmaster CD 74 eight-color perfecting press and a POLAR 115 X cutter. "Quite simply, our range of prepress, press and postpress solutions meet customers' requirements," says Oleg Krasnoborov, Managing Director of Heidelberg Russia. As Krasnoborov points out, Computer-to-Plate and workflow integrations are vital to customers because of their ability to increase production efficiency.
Heidelberg has been represented in Russia since 1996. Alongside its headquarters in Moscow, it has 17 sites in all major cities across the country. In 2000, Heidelberg opened a Print Media Academy (PMA) in Moscow to promote the training of skilled printers. To date, over 300 printers have been trained at the Academy. The PMA is run in conjunction with the Moscow State University of Graphic Design, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. To commemorate the occasion, Heidelberg presented the University with a Prinect Center to enable it to provide workflow training. Heidelberg has been working closely with the College for over ten years, whether it be training printers or sponsoring the museum of printing. To ensure first-rate training, the PMA and the University are equipped with cutting-edge printing technologies such as a Primesetter 74, a Printmaster PM 74 four-color press, two Speedmaster SM 52 two-color presses and a Stahlfolder.
