Heidelberg cuts the ribbon on new Adelaide premises

After five years in Wingfield, the decision to relocate to Thebarton was based on Heidelberg’s desire to be closer to its customers, as well as the need for a premises offering enhanced showroom and warehousing facilities.

Andy Vels Jensen, managing director of Heidelberg Australia and New Zealand, officially declared the new office ‘open for business’, delivering the opening speech and cutting the ribbon.

The opening was followed by a ‘Post Ipex Inforum’, offering customers the chance to learn about the new technologies and innovations exhibited by Heidelberg in Birmingham during April. The forum featured presentations on prepress, press, and postpress innovations including the new Prinect JDF workflow, Anicolor Inking System, and the ST450 saddlestitcher.

Andre Carrison, Gillingham Printers, claimed at the event that it was great to see the new offices and labelled the Ipex presentations as timely.

“It was a great overview of the Expo and left enough time for me to catch up with a large number of industry colleagues, which was fantastic,” said Carrison.

The Thebarton office is in a business park only ten minutes from the airport, which the company claims facilitates next flight pick-ups and drop-offs of spare parts and offers it even greater efficiencies in customer support.

Currently on display in the Adelaide showroom is the Polar 78XT and Printmaster PM 52-2 press.
