GF Health Products will use the Cy Lasers’ system to produce healthcare products for the homecare, long term care, primary care, and acute care markets.

Fond du Lac, WI - GF Health Products Inc. has purchased and installed a state-of-the-art bi-dimensional fiber optic laser cutting system at its facility here. The Cyrio system is from Cy Lasers, Schio, VI, Italy.

The new system joins the company’s 2012 installation of a fiber optic laser tube cutting system.
