Press bases completed at Polestar Sheffield

Construction of Polestar's Sheffield superplant has reached another milestone with the completion of the press bases.

The firm has taken possession of the first two bases and installation of two 3.88m wide Cerutti presses will begin in December. The third press is scheduled for installation in May 2005.

 

"We continue to meet our targets and deadlines on this project and are on course for completion next month," said project managing director Mike Young.

 

Polestar took possession of the pre-press area of the plant last month and began the installation of cylinder engraving equipment.
