Heidelberg to Fully Acquire Polar Press Production
Shared with SuperPrinters · 7/7/2026 · Source: indianprinterpublisher.com
Heidelberg has signed an agreement to take over production of Polar presses and post-press systems, following its recent completion of the manroland sheetfed integration. This move brings Polar's development, production, sales, and service fully under Heidelberg's umbrella, strengthening its role as a systems integrator in printing and packaging. The transition will happen gradually, with Heidelberg planning to relocate production away from the Hofheim site while assuring customers of continued quality, availability, and support.
