For his part, Hundsdörfer acknowledges the trusting cooperation with the Supervisory Board as well as within the company. He said, “These have been challenging years here. We successfully defied the pandemic and strategically realigned Heidelberg through our successful transformation. I am proud to be part of the Heidelberg family.”
