The two presses will be called Speedmaster XL 142 and Speedmaster XL 162.
Heidelberg currently offers presses in the 30cm x 50cm (11.8" x 19.7") small format, the 50cm x 70cm (19.7" x 27.6") medium format and the 70cm x 100cm (27.6" x 39.3") large format.
As confirmed by Heidelberg's chief executive officer, Bernhard Schreier: "Moving to a larger format extends our offer in the sheetfed sector.
Heidelberg intends to enhance its lead in the largest market segment of the print media industry." At present, the most important market for large-format sheetfed presses is in packaging, a relatively fast growing market segment, said Heidelberg.
The company said that it is looking to develop its range of products, especially for printing and finishing folding cartons, which requires large-format sheetfed offset presses, as well as die-cutters and folder gluers.
The new presses are being developed in Heidelberg and assembled at the main German plant in Wiesloch in a specially constructed assembly hall.
