Updates

  • 2026-09-24 · Edited before publication: Three key facts are not in the excerpt or text_start: the Smithers attribution for the market forecast, the Gallus headcount (300/160 in St Gallen), and the Screeny's 2025 launch and 120 m/min speed. The show dates and venue are also absent from the supplied source and are removed. A trade-show return is materiality 1, not 2.
  • 2026-09-24 · Edited before publication: Facts are grounded, but 'why this matters' attributed the USD 12bn to USD 20bn market projection to Heidelberg, while the source presents it as an external forecast the company cites. Reworded; all other fields stand and materiality 1 is correct for a trade show appearance.
  • 2026-09-29 · Update: Heidelberg confirms the Gallus Screeny unit's India debut runs 29 October to 1 November at LOUPE India in Greater Noida, shown with Heidelberg India at booth K14.
