SUN Automation Group, a leading provider of innovative solutions to the corrugated industry, announces the second U.S. and third overall North American purchase of the Kolbus BX Motion by Corrugated Partners LLC 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 board from E-flute to AAC-flute, the BX Motion delivers setup times of 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’re excited to be one of the first in North America to invest in the BX Motion,” said AJ Slaven, President of Corrugated Partners LLC. “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.

This latest installation also underscores the success of the recent partnership between SUN and Kolbus, which has significantly expanded SUN’s product offerings.
