10/11/2006


KENNESAW, Ga., - POLAR-MOHR recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, marking the milestone event with a series of festivities in Wiesbaden, Germany. The company, which was founded by Adolf Mohr in 1906, has built a reputation as a technology and industry leader and recently sold its 125,000th high-speed cutter. Since 1949, Heidelberg and POLAR have worked together to deliver POLAR's high-speed cutters and cutting systems to customers around the world. POLAR cutting systems will be on display at the Heidelberg booth #1200 at Graph Expo, which is being held in Chicago at McCormick Place on October 15-18.

"POLAR has been a partner to Heidelberg for more than 57 years, and we are delighted to celebrate the company's history on its 100th anniversary," said Jim Dunn, President, Heidelberg USA. "Working with POLAR has been a great experience for Heidelberg, and most importantly, for our customers, who benefit from superior equipment and technology. Heidelberg would like to thank POLAR Managing Directors Alfred Henschel and Michael Neugart for their business and support."

As part of its Postpress solutions, Heidelberg offers a broad range of POLAR cutters, providing customer support from sales to installation to service and beyond. Today, more than 20,000 POLAR cutters have been installed in North America alone. POLAR cutters are designed with the latest technologies to break down bottlenecks in the bindery and are available in a wide range of models from 26-inch machines all the way up to 69-inch machines. In addition to cutters, POLAR also provides a range of paper handling equipment to further speed the cutting process and save customers valuable time at the cutting station.
