Allianz could have gone with the proposed merger with Heidelberg in 2009. Sayang naman.

Heidelberg seems to be having difficulties too. Sales fell by a third in four years, and the company posted a net loss in the last three fiscal years. The company has shifted some operations to China, opening a plant in Shanghai in 2006 to tap growing Asian demand and cut production costs.
It seems that Asia remains the only really viable market for printing machine producers.

...and Middle East, too. Kasama ko yung isa sa mga executive managers ng Heidelberg Middle East Free Zone Company (HDME FZCO) last week. According to him because of the sharp slump sa market since 2008 ang strategy nila ngayon besides selling machines and plates is selling solutions na rin. Meaning, pag bumili ka ng CTP, for example, puwede na rin kasama ang CTP operator sa package para di na mag worry ang company sa operations and service.

Sir Larry, kasama ba ang Philippines sa package nila (machine and operator)? Balak kasi namin kumuha ng Image setter with CTP.

Hindi ko lang alam ang setup ng Heidelberg sa Pinas. But here in the Gulf ganun ang kalakaran ng Heidelberg & Agfa. Normally, 6 or 12 months mag stay ang Systems Engineer nila. Depende sa offer and contract.
This way mahahasa ang CTP operator ng customer sa tamang pag gamit ng Workflow, CTP operations, and processor maintenance. Siguro pwede din nating gayahin ito kahit 3 months lang ang Engineer sa customer's site.
What do you think, guys?
