Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG has restructured its Group financing to optimize its financial framework further.
At the year's start, the 2023 syndicated credit line was substituted with a new consortium loan facility extended to 2030 before its original maturity. The facility size grew to €436 million, arranged with a slightly altered bank group. This move provides greater financial flexibility for expanding business operations and significantly lengthens the Group's financing maturity profile.
The new revolving credit facility finances ongoing business operations and related capital needs, which vary seasonally. It also forms a strong base for strategic development and growth investments, especially beyond print and packaging sectors.
By extending the syndicated credit facility, the company enhances its financing maturity structure. Moving forward, the financial framework relies mainly on this credit line to 2030, with a possible one-year extension to 2031. This replaces the prior €370 million line due in 2028.
As of September 30, 2025, about €59 million of that line was utilized, mainly for cash withdrawals and export-related guarantees. Thus, €311 million remained undrawn on the reporting date.
