SUN Automation Group® has announced 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 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.

“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.”

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

“Our partnership with Kolbus strengthens SUN’s mission to provide the most comprehensive and innovative solutions in the corrugated space,” said Greg Jones, Executive Vice President at SUN Automation Group. “With our deep knowledge of the industry and unmatched service and support network, we’re confident that our customers will benefit greatly from this world-class technology.”

As the exclusive representative of Kolbus equipment in the U.S. and Canada, SUN Automation Group provides full sales, service, and parts support for the BX Motion and other Kolbus solutions. This ensures North American customers receive the local expertise and responsiveness they need to maximize uptime and productivity.
