'Petty Cash' Polar Cuts Ice With Fulmar

With the words, "I don't consider £95,000 buying - it's petty cash." Fulmar plc's chairman Mike Taylor closed a deal at Drupa to buy a Polar cutting system for the group's White Quill Press.

The move came only days after saying that he was visiting the show but would not be spending and money.

He has taken the new generation Heidelberg Polar 115 with an integral stacklift that will be used to assist the feeding of book covers into the cutter.

Finished work will be downloaded by a Transomat.

These facilities together with Autotrim, which despatches offcut directly to waste extraction will increase productivity by at least 50% with a calculated payback of three years said the company.

White Quill now cuts over a million book covers a week for its sister company Bookmarque and, having extended its premises by 50%, it now has space for the additional cutting equipment.

Taylor is at Drupa with fellow director Mike Austin, primarily to update themselves on technology issues.
