The new Polar Polar 115 PF cutting equipment, A.P. Selvarajan, Director at Kaliswari Group, said, will enhance his company’s “commitment towards excellent delivery” and “just in time services” at its factories for customers in need of labels, wick coverings and wrappers.
The Polar 115 PF is suitable for all standard cutting jobs. The cutting equipment is best suited for all offset formats of 70x100 cm.

The Polar 115 PF deliver precisely what we need. Moreover, features such touch screen operation makes the kit more user friendly for our operators to use.”
