Heidelberg Takes Full Control of Polar Press Production as Industry Consolidation Continues
Shared with SuperPrinters · 8/10/2026 · Source: indianprinterpublisher.com
Heidelberg has absorbed the production of Polar cutting systems following its earlier acquisition of Polar Mohr's IP and assets, with the Hofheim manufacturing site set to be sold and operations folded into Heidelberg's own facilities. The move follows Heidelberg's takeover of Manroland Sheetfed's global sales and service network, with CEO Jürgen Otto framing both deals as strengthening the company's position in printing and packaging. Separately, Steve Fyfe of Magnum Digital Solutions has acquired Timsons Engineering, securing new press orders from UK book printer Clays and picking up rights to the Rotary FlexFold from Kolbus.
