The chairman of the management board of Heidelberger Druck-maschinen AG, Bernhard Schreier, is the new president & chairman of the exhibitors’ advisory board of the leading global trade fair drupa. He takes over this role from Martin Weickenmeier, Managing Director Sales, Marketing and Service of Körber PaperLink GmbH. Weickenmeier is no longer available for the tasks of the drupa president as a result of the strategic reorientation of the Körber Group’s Paper Division and, therefore, resigned his office. Weickenmeier (56) had been the head of the executive committee of drupa since the last trade fair in 2008.

“I am delighted to accept the role of drupa President at this particu-larly exciting and important time for our industry. drupa 2012 is a really crucial initiator for the print media industry, and I will contribute significantly to the successful planning and organization of it, “ said Schreier (57) who has been head of the world-wide largest printing press manufacturer since 1999.
