Heidelberg picked up two awards this year for products Indian visitors saw during Drupa 2016. The jury stated that the Omnifire 250 represents a breakthrough in the decoration of three-dimensional objects. The Stahlfolder TH 82-P folding machine was attested a major engineering achievement for introducing the principle of shingled sheet feeding known from the PFX feeder. Interestingly this product received an award back in 2012 – as shingled folding to all folding stations of the folding machine.

The InterTech stars, recognised as a symbol of technological innovation and excellence, will be presented before an audience of industry leaders during the 2016 Printing Industries of America Premier Print Awards and InterTech Technology Awards Gala, on 25 September in Orlando, Florida.
