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.
