We traveled to China with the invitation of our production machinery supplier Heidelberg Turkey. We observed Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG in Shanghai and MKmasterwork machine production and assembly lines in Tianjin.

We had the opportunity to observe Heidelberg's 175 years of Heidelberg experience in Germany before. At the Shanghai Production Plant, Heidelberg General Manager Michael Nilges, Heidelberg Portfolio Management President and Board Member Rainer Wolf and Heidelberg Regional Head of EMEA Jochen Bender welcomed us and their presentation provided us with valuable information about the industry. The Heidelberg production facility in China maintains the same standards as in Germany, producing 20 machines per month with the principle of zero defects. After the completion of the assembly of all the machines, they make a demo and after making sure that the products work flawlessly, they ship them to the customers. In this factory, we observed the production line and trial production of CX104, one of our latest technology printing machines that we commissioned in January 2025.
