SUN Automation Group, a provider of innovative solutions to the corrugated industry, has announced the second US and third overall North American purchase of the Kolbus BX Motion by Corrugated Partners in Arlington, Texas.
This milestone marks another significant step forward in the strategic partnership between SUN Automation and Kolbus, as the BX Motion continues to gain traction across the North American market for its efficiency, versatility, and cutting-edge design.
The BX Motion is engineered to meet the evolving needs of box plants focused on short-run production. It boasts a modular and multifunctional design that enables customizable tool configurations and rapid changeovers.
Supporting single-, double-, and triple-wall corrugated boards from E-flute to AAC-flute, the BX Motion delivers setup times under 60 seconds and the capability to produce more than 50 FEFCO box styles. Integrated features such as digital printing, automatic loading and stacking, and inline glue strip application make it a complete, all-in-one solution for high-quality box production.
“We are excited to be one of the first in North America to invest in BX Motion,” said AJ Slaven, president of Corrugated Partners. “This technology aligns perfectly with our mission to meet evolving customer demands with speed, flexibility, and precision. The fact that it can go from concept to box in minutes while offering extensive style and board options gives us a major edge in today’s competitive market.”
The acquisition reflects Corrugated Partners’ commitment to operational excellence and innovation, with strong support from SUN Automation and Kolbus.
“SUN is proud to support Corrugated Partners LLC with this installation and the growing demand for short-run, high-performance solutions,” said Ryan Clark, Capital Equipment Sales manager at SUN Automation Group. “The BX Motion delivers flexibility and capability that box makers need, and we’re thrilled to see it continuing to gain traction across North America.”
