Heidelberg has reached an agreement to acquire the technology, IP, and brand rights of its long-standing partner, the Polar Group, solidifying a decades-long relationship. This strategic move gives Heidelberg exclusive global rights to market, sell, and service Polar Mohr postpress products—particularly targeting growth in packaging markets across Asia, South America, and the Middle East. “Heidelberg is aiming to achieve targeted growth through M&A activities in attractive market segments. This acquisition underscores our credentials as a full-range supplier for our customers in the packaging and label industry, including service, and gives us exclusivity in a growing market,” says Jürgen Otto, CEO of Heidelberg.The acquisition enhances Heidelberg’s position as a full-line provider for packaging and label printers by integrating Polar’s automated postpress solutions into its workflow-focused portfolio. Polar, owned by SOL Capital Management, will continue manufacturing and developing the systems while Heidelberg handles global commercialization. This move underscores Heidelberg’s M&A-driven growth strategy and its push toward automation and productivity in packaging print operations.
