Healeys Print will take delivery of two new Polar guillotines in March, a Polar N115 Plus and a Polar N92 Plus. This follows on from the Ipswich based firm’s purchase of a smaller Polar D66 Plus last year.
‘People don’t get very excited about buying guillotines,’ said managing director Philip Dodd, ‘but our guillotines are used twice as much as any other binding kit so we want guillotines that we can rely on and I don’t have to worry about.’
The business also added two new Ricoh presses in 2018, bringing its digital presses total to four. Meanwhile the two guillotines arriving in March, both of which feature 18.5inch touchscreen monitors and graphic operator guidance, will be used primarily for litho work.
Last year Healeys saw its sales increase 15% to reach a record £4.1m and the copmany believes, with the existing infrastructure, it has the ability to rise to £5m. Today the split between litho and digital is about 65/35 respectively.
