The event, which runs from 15 to 17 April, will serve as an indication for what equipment the manufacturer will be showcasing at this year's Drupa.

Kit on display will include the new Eurobind EB600 perfect binder, the Eurotrim EB 1300 and a selection of Polar guillotine models.

Heidelberg will also be exhibiting three Stichmaster saddle-stitcher models, the ST100, ST350 and ST450, as well as showing what advantages workflow connectivity can bring to the finishing department.

Heidelberg UK marketing manager Mark Hogan told printweek.com: "A large number of printers cannot justify the cost of going to Drupa so the open house is a good opportunity to see what Heidelberg has on offer".

He added: "We're looking at how printers can add value to their product with quality finishing equipment".

The open house will run daily from 9am to 5pm. Prospective visitors show call Barbara Milton at Heidelberg's Tamworth office on 01827 266 220.
