DSR Replaces Schneider Senator with POLAR Guillotine
05.09.2007
Groomed in the trade to believe that POLAR was the top
guillotine you could buy, Derek Church, director of DSR Print
Finishers, was surprised to discover just how affordable these
latest generation machines are.
The Hertford trade finishers reviewed the cutting market extensively before deciding which model to buy. The POLAR 115X arrives at the plant this week to replace a 14-year-old Schneider Senator cutter.
Mr Church's co-director, Dave Tharby, worked previously with Keldia as bindery manager, where he sanctioned the purchase of Schneider Senator machines, so when he switched to DSR that relationship continued. Now he agrees with Mr Church that the POLAR is the best available technology today.
"We went to the Brentford open house and saw the POLAR and we were surprised by how price competitive it was. We rely on our cutting. If you can speed up that process, the whole operation benefits," says Mr Church.
With apprenticeships being a thing of the past, people tend to be trained up to a specific machine, and DSR Print Finishers were especially impressed by the user-friendliness of the POLAR 115X.
"It's very user friendly; the graphics tell you exactly what to do which makes it fullproof," says Mr Church.
"You have to invest to keep up. You have to remain efficient and quality-minded and one step ahead of the competitors."
The company is a cut-fold-stitch-trim specialist, handling cutting work with 200 items on a B1 sheet to halving the sheet. Most of its work is local to Hertford but the company has a "have-van-will-travel mentality" and this has drawn in more work from London and the Home Counties.
The company operates a flexible shift pattern to meet the diverse and time-critical needs of its customers. Its brochure defines DSR as Dedication - Service - Reliability.
