Monz to leave Heidelberg

Dr Ludwin Monz, who has been CEO of Heidelberg since April 2022, has announced his intention to leave the company at the end of June. He will be replaced by Jürgen Otto (59). But what does this mean for Heidelberg’s future?

The decision has obviously caught Heidelberg by surprise, with a statement from Dr Martin Sonnenschein, chairman of Heidelberg’s Supervisory Board, who commented, “We very much regret Dr Ludwin Monz’s decision to leave Heidelberg. He has decisively advanced our company strategically and operationally and thus strengthened our foundation in a difficult market environment. With Jürgen Otto, we are gaining a proven leader. With his experience and network, we will continue to consistently prepare Heidelberg for the future, increase profitability and further strengthen our significant technological expertise in the printing and packaging industry and beyond.”

Otto has built a reputation in recent years for helping companies to reorganise. According to his LinkedIn profile, his recent jobs have all been short tenures where he was brought in to restructure the company, and in particular its management. His background is in the automotive industry, where he spent 27 years – the last 12 as CEO – working for the Brose Group, which specialises in vehicle interiors. That was followed by 15 months as CEO helping to restructure the Draxlmaier Group and 19 months as CEO of Borgers Group, which was acquired by Autoneum shortly after he left.

Heidelberg’s press release on its change of management included a statement from Jürgen Otto, “Heidelberg is an icon of German industry with product quality and service expertise that is appreciated worldwide.” It’s worth noting that Monz expressed remarkably similar sentiments when he joined the company, “For me, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen is a flagship of German mechanical engineering.” So it’s at least reassuring to see that there is some continuity from whoever is writing the CEO’s quotes.

More worryingly, neither Monz or Otto appear to view Heidelberg as a press manufacturer. In 2022 Monz told shareholders that the company would have to expand beyond printing. Yet at last year’s Interpack, he told journalists in a press conference that it was difficult to find other markets that would have more than a short term growth.

Monz used a recent pre-Drupa press briefing to reiterate that Heidelberg is pursuing a two-track strategy, explaining, “We will remain in printing. That’s what Heidelberg stands for and it remains our future. However, we also explore new areas like the charging for electric vehicles.”

There are a number of difficulties with this strategy. Firstly, it suggests a lack of confidence in the core printing business, with Heidelberg having to look elsewhere for growth. Yet, other vendors such as Koenig and Bauer or Bobst don’t seem to have the same issues.

There is some sense in diversifying into another business area, both to find extra growth and to protect the company from the inevitable vagaries of the market. But there is also a risk that the company will lose focus. And, of course, as Monz noted, it is difficult to find another business that will be complementary to Heidelberg and have good long term prospects.

Heidelberg was able to grow its Amperfied EV charging business from its knowledge of electronics and manufacturing. It also benefited from German government grants that aimed to encourage the take-up of electric vehicles. But there’s little evidence that Heidelberg has incubated much else in the way of start-ups that could grow into a bigger business, as Durst, for example, has done with its Kraftwerk project.

Another alternative would be to buy a selection of smaller companies and put them together to create a business that’s bigger than the sum of its parts. That would require time and a creative vision, two qualities that Heidelberg seems to be short of. Nonetheless, this is what Fujifilm did, buying Dimatix for printheads, plus Sericol and Avecia for inkjet inks, to create a strong base in inkjet printing. It’s also the route taken by Hybrid Software, buying Global Graphics, Meteor Inkjet, Color-Logic and iC3D to put together a comprehensive workflow solution.

Nor is there any sign of any big new direction from within Heidelberg’s core printing business since the demise of the B1 inkjet PrimeFire press. Monz says that the PrimeFire was mainly aimed at the packaging market, adding, “This was a powerful concept however the market was not ready for it and it was too expensive in terms of cost per printed sheet.”

Instead there is much talk of digitization, but this just means increasing automation, in some cases aided by artificial intelligence. Since all the competitors are doing the same there’s little room for differentiation.

For Drupa, Heidelberg will show the latest Peak Performance generation of its Speedmaster XL106 B1 offset press, which can reach speeds of up to 21,000sph. Markus Leichtle, senior manager for industrial packaging, says, “It’s suitable for different market segments and different budgets. We know that our customers have different business models and produce different products so it’s highly configurable.” He says that it’s also able to handle both very thin and very thick materials, from 0.03 to 1mm.

It boasts 30% faster makeready times which Leichtle says is down to increased intelligent automation, adding, “This is particularly useful for pharma because they are using short runs and a lot of job changes.” It also benefits from a new drier that will save up to 30% of drying energy. Leichtle notes, “Speeding up a press improves its energy performance.”

Elsewhere at Drupa we will see a resurgence in toner-based production printers, continuing growth in mid-range inkjet presses for commercial printing, a dramatic leap in digital printing for paper-based packaging and the first shoots of inkjet presses for flexible film packaging. But, barring any last minute surprises, we won’t see any of this on the Heidelberg stand. Monz went on to say that Heidelberg believes in digital but that the biggest market for digital technology was in commercial printing. Naturally he glossed over the weakness in Heidelberg’s position – that it’s reliant on rebadging Ricoh dry toner production printers for commercial digital print. Instead he simply stated that Heidelberg was focused on offset for this Drupa.

This contrasts with Heidelberg’s annual report for last year, which noted, “Print shops can also be expected to increasingly adapt to the ‘Amazon effect’ with the same day or next day delivery of goods and service becoming standard. This means the transition from conventional to digital print is continuing as time-to-market and quick turnaround times become increasingly important.”

Speaking at the pre-Drupa briefing, Monz said. “I’m really convinced that the printing market will be good.” This of course is exactly what you would say to a room full of print industry journalists ahead of a large printing show. However, he already knew at that time that he would be leaving the company, and presumably the industry.

There are many questions facing Heidelberg over its plans for the future and the extent to which it still has a viable future. Ironically the company’s short term prospects look better than they have done in a long time, with healthy profits and a reasonable incoming order backlog. But its long term future looks less certain because the last few years have all been about re-engineering, both its finances and its technologies. The company has ruthlessly cut every project that wasn’t making money, which has helped it to become profitable for now.

Most recently this has resulted in the liquidation of the Zaikio business, which Heidelberg set up after acquiring Crispy Mountain and its Keyline cloud-based print MIS in 2019. Zaikio went on to develop an interesting open platform workflow concept. Heidelberg clearly hoped this would develop into a standalone business since it placed Zaikio in its Other Solutions division alongside the Amperfied EV charging business rather than as part of the Print Solutions division. For now Heidelberg has said that it is still negotiating how to liquidate the company so we won’t get a fuller picture until the next set of financial results in June. But there are a number of elements that Heidelberg will want to retain. Some of the Prinect services rely on the authentication solution provided by Zaikio and there are also a number of customers using the Keyline software.

We might reasonably expect that the company would use a flagship event like Drupa to answer those questions but with Monz leaving this opportunity is lost. Instead, the timing has more to do with finance, with Monz having chosen to sign off just after Heidelberg publishes its full year results for the 2023/2024 year on 11 June, leaving Otto to face the Annual General Meeting on 25 July 2024.

The most recent figures, for the first three quarters of this financial year, show sales of €1.67 billion, which is less than the €1.73 billion from the same period in the previous year, but Heidelberg says that the figures match when adjusted for exchange rates. The operating result or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation, improved from €125 million to €135 million, with the margin up from 7.2% to 8%. However, the net result fell from €54 million to €34 million, which Heidelberg says is down to “higher tax expenditure, increased pension-related interest costs, and the lack of positive special items.”

I have written previously that I think that it’s deeply concerning that a company the size of Heidelberg should rely on just two board members – the CEO and CFO – for its day to day running. Fortunately a quick read through of the press releases from Otto’s previous companies suggests that he favours identifying the most capable of the current management team and promoting a selection of them to the board to eventually succeed him. In this vein, Heidelberg has said that Dr David Schmedding (47) will join the board, which is a start. He was previously Heidelberg’s head of sales and will now be the chief sales and service officer.

And then there is the chief financial officer, Tania von der Goltz. Monz spent 25 years working for the Zeiss group and was chairman of Carl Zeiss Meditec before joining Heidelberg in April 2022. At that time, Marcus Wassenberg, who was CFO, had his contract extended until 2027. But just a few months later, in November 2022 Heidelberg announced that von der Goltz would replace him as CFO from I January 2023. She has spent most of her career so far in the medical services industry, working for Fresenius Medical Care. In 2018 she picked up a side gig as a member of the supervisory board at Carl Zeiss Meditec, where she met Monz. So with Monz now leaving Heidelberg I think it’s reasonable to ask how long before Heidelberg is also looking for a CFO?

Hopefully Heidelberg will address some of these issues at Drupa. In the meantime, you can find further details on the company from heidelberg.com.

Jens Westerbeck - After Show Party

 

- Story ist ein Mann der Gelegenheiten. Er steht bei Gelegenheit auf, zahlt seine Rechnungen bei Gelegenheit, und bietet sich eine Gelegenheit, greift er zu. Und gelegentlich auch mal daneben. Das Setzen von Prioritäten ist nicht seine Stärke. Man kann ihm das Glück kübelweise vor die Nase stellen, er wird es immer beiseiteschieben und erst mal das nächste Getränk bestellen. Seine Ehe, seine Karriere, alles hat er dermaßen leichtfertig aufs Spiel gesetzt, als finde er Gefallen daran, Chancen auszulassen. Und wenn dann doch mal was zu klappen scheint, ist es am Ende irgendein Detail, welches das Kartenhaus im letzten Moment einstürzen lässt, Es ist kaum auszuhalten, es sei denn, man trinkt genug. 

 

- Genauso hatte er sich das vorgestellt, als er heute Morgen die Frühkonferenz betrat. Er kann es doch. Karriere machen. dumm nur, dass es irgendwie immer mit Arbeit verbunden ist. Durchhalten. Wenn am Ende des Tages die Schlagzeile steht, die Druckmaschinen rattern und das Land den größten Skandal der jüngeren Zeit hat, soll ihn dieses Gefühl für alles entschädigen, was er bisher verpasst hat. Das ist keine normale Geschichte, das ist eine Seite eins, die sein Leben verändern wird. Die Geschichte, von der alle sprechen, die aber den wenigsten gelingt. Einmal ganz oben. Und dann wird er einfach aussteigen. Mit ihm wird kein Fahrstuhl mehr nach unten fahren.

MOVEit-Leck: CLOP-Gruppe leakt weitere 30 Firmennamen

Es ist wie ein Fass ohne Boden: die CLOP-Gruppe hat in nur einer Woche weitere 30 Unternehmensnamen geleakt, die Opfer der Attacke auf die MOVEit-Schwachstelle sein sollen. Nun sind es weit über 80 zu Teil prominente Opfer. Viele Daten stehen sogar bereits komplett online. Die aktuell veröffentlichte Liste ist nun bereits auf 82 Namen angewachsen. Die meisten Firmennamen sind international und nicht in Deutschland beheimatet. Der Nutzerkreis der vor Wochen anfälligen Software-Lösung MOVEit zum Datenaustausch ist in Deutschland kleiner als zuerst angenommen. Dennoch sprechen Experten hinter vorgehaltener Hand von gut 100 Opfern, die aber zum großen Teil in keiner Liste auftauchen - auch nicht bei der CLOP-Gruppe. Bereits 82 Opfer online am Pranger Die Liste wird zwar gegenüber den vorherigen Berichten immer länger, aber gleichzeitig wird auch die Liste der Nichtzahler immer länger. Die Gruppe wütet in einem Textblock, dass die Firmen ihre Kunden hängen ließen. Aktuell stehen von 30 Unternehmen Teile ihrer Datenpakete im Darknet offen zum Download. Zusätzlich gibt es immer mehr Einträge mit der Veröffentlichung der gesamten Daten. Aktuell finden sich die vermeintlich gestohlenen Daten von 20 Unternehmen im Darknet. Die Quote der Nichtzahler mit 50 zu 82 Opfern wäre gar nicht schlecht. Allerdings gibt es wohl eine hohe Dunkelziffer an Unternehmen, die sofort bezahlt haben und erst gar nicht in der Liste auftauchen. Laut CLOP haben Unternehmen, wie Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, Shell, der Boston Globe, Sicherheits-Software-Hersteller NortonLifeLock, Sony, die Wirtschaftsprüfer Ernst & Young und PWC, der Versicherer Zurich nicht bezahlt. Gut so. Immer mehr Unternehmen zahlen nicht Es ist gut zu sehen, dass viele Unternehmen sich nicht auf den Deal einlassen und bezahlen. Denn wenn CLOP die Daten schon hat, ist keinesfalls sichergestellt, dass diese Daten nicht weiterverkauft werden. So summiert sich nur der Schaden für die Unternehmen, wenn sie auch noch Geld dafür zahlen. Zum Hintergrund der MOVEit-Schwachstelle: Nach dem Bekanntwerden der Sicherheitslücke haben viele Unternehmen die MOVEit-Umgebung vom Netz genommen, um einen unerlaubten Datenzugriff zu unterbinden. Bei der anschließenden Forensik wurde festgestellt, dass vor der Abschaltung der MOVEit-Umgebung bei vielen Unternehmen unerlaubt Daten über diese kritische Schwachstelle entwendet wurden.   Passende Artikel zum Thema Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Equipment as a Service Market: Revolutionizing the Future of Business

The global equipment as a service market size is anticipated to reach USD 27,804.4 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. expanding at a CAGR of 49.9% from 2023 to 2030. Equipment as a Service (EaaS) is gaining traction among a broad spectrum of machine manufacturers as a result of globalization, digitization, and the Internet of Things, which have been significant drivers and catalysts of this innovation in recent years. For instance, a construction equipment model emphasizing usage rather than ownership will enable Volvo clients to invest more money profitably and expand their main business operations.

Today's equipment manufacturers are attempting to shift the focus from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operating expenditure (OpEx) in order to increase flexibility, which will further fuel market demand. This effort is being driven by the meteoric rise of well-known B2C offerings like Netflix and Spotify. The benefit of EaaS models is that they make it possible to switch from a high initial CAPEX to a recurrent OPEX model. Equipment as a service (EaaS) models does away with the necessity for substantial investments and the related long-term financial commitment for the consumers of the equipment manufacturers. In the coming years, the demand for equipment as a service will be driven by the aforementioned causes. For instance, the much-touted Rolls-Royce concept, known as "power-by-the-hour" since clients are only charged for each hour of actual usage, has completely changed how the business sells aviation turbines.

Contrary to CAPEX business models, the client relationship is maintained over the long term, much like subscription models. Instead, it is limited to the completion and follow-up of the equipment purchase. As a result, the customer benefits from the manufacturers continued responsibility for the product and the machine manufacturer's continued awareness of the client's needs. In addition, the manufacturer of the equipment makes ongoing additional revenues through services and gains expertise by having access to user data in addition to one-time earnings. These aforementioned factors will propel the market demand in the coming years.

Machine manufacturers also manage to monitor equipment status as part of EaaS models or Machine as a Service (MaaS), and provide predictive maintenance based on usage data analysis via the IIoT. Furthermore, these models contain more sophisticated services that would often be outsourced. The opportunity for providers to make more money above and beyond their pre-EaaS business model exists here. This business model is being studied by an increasing number of industrial manufacturing enterprises for their machinery, tools, software, and digital services. Examples of companies that have successfully used this business model for industrial devices and equipment include Kaeser (compressors), Heidelberger Druckmaschinen (digital printing machines), and Atlas Copco (mining equipment). EaaS or MaaS fundamentally enables users to rent machinery for a set length of time or to reach other pre-determined outputs, in contrast to a traditional model where manufacturers sell machinery, equipment, and production systems for a single, upfront cost. Providers can create specialized, user-friendly solutions that satisfy the commercial objectives of their partners owing to this cutting-edge pay-per-use or pay-per-unit-produced business model. For instance, in May 2020, Equipment Financing Group, Milacron's exclusive finance partner, introduced a new leasing option for machinery upgrades. Milacron is a major industrial technology business serving the plastics processing sector. Moreover, EaaS or MaaS models have benefits over owning, such as cheaper monthly payments that are often made over the course of months or years rather than all at once, thus driving market expansion.
