“In Marcus Wassenberg, we are losing a committed innovator and I am losing a very valued Board colleague.

This is what our Supervisory Board, the management team and I stand for together,” emphasizes the Chairman of the Management Board, Dr Ludwin Monz. “The future of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG is spread across many strong shoulders.“
“The task now is to further strengthen the core business and at the same time drive forward the development of new business areas based on the company’s extensive competencies, for example in electromobility, automation and sensor technology. Under the leadership of Ludwin Monz, the company is excellently equipped for this permanent innovation task,” underlines Marcus A. Wassenberg.
