Heidelberg UK has opened a new subsidiary, Heidelberg Graphic Equipment Ireland. Building on the success of its existing Irish business, Heidelberg believes this new organisation will enhance its presence in the country and demonstrate its commitment to its customers and Irish printers generally.
The company expects that the Irish economy will recover quickly from the effects of Brexit and the pandemic, saying that studies suggest it will be among the best-performing in the western world this year with GDP growth of 0.8%, before accelerating to export-driven growth of 5.3% in 2021. The subsidiary will therefore enable Heidelberg to continue to compete for new business in Ireland and to have a better control of its business activities in the post-Brexit, post-Covid market.
‘We are opening a new chapter in the success story of Heidelberg in Ireland,’ said managing director Ryan Miles. ‘In its chosen markets our Irish business has shown continuous growth. This growth has been achieved by a highly customer-focussed team providing a market-leading product and service offering. By setting up this subsidiary, we intend to grow our Irish business further and to see it thrive as an integral part of the Heidelberg family.’
Customers of Heidelberg in Ireland will benefit from closer access to the best of the company’s solutions, service and consumables.
