For the first time, the customer magazine of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) - "Heidelberg News" (HN) - has been awarded gold in the "BCP - Best of Corporate Publishing Awards", Europe's largest competition for corporate publications, making the magazine by far the most successful publication in the entire print media industry.

HN had already been awarded silver six times in Europe alone in the previous years, and various gold and platinum medals have come its way on the North American continent. In awarding the magazine its latest accolade, the panel of judges explained their decision with the following words: "Nominated last year and on the winners' podium this year, Heidelberg News offers a deep insight into the world of print technology. Complex interrelationships are explained in simple terms, and the whole is combined with clear and logical images and illustrations."

"Heidelberg News is a key element of our integrated concept for addressing customers - a concept in which print products play a central role and the focus is on a partnership-based approach. We therefore see this success in the BCP Awards as an incentive to continue pursuing this strategy," says Adriana Nuneva, Head of Global Marketing and Communications at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.

In all, over 600 publications participated in the competition. The award ceremony took place as part of the Corporate Publishing Congress in Hamburg. As usual, the event was organized by Forum Corporate Publishing e.V., which this time played host to around 650 guests. This industry association presents the BCP Award annually in collaboration with trade magazines acquisa, Horizont, w&v, and Schweizer Werbewoche.
