Sun Automation Group® at Corrugated Week 2026

Sun Automation Group^®, providing innovative solutions and machinery for the corrugated industry, announces its participation in Corrugated Week 2026, September 28–30 in Fort Worth, Texas. At Booth 101, Sun Automation will highlight more of the line and more of the support behind it, with solutions spanning rotary die cutting, flexo folder gluing, short-run boxmaking, and automated material handling. Attendees can also learn about upgrades, parts, service, and connected machine intelligence designed to support equipment performance, reliability, and long-term value.

“Box plants are looking at their whole operation: what they need to replace, what they can upgrade, where automation makes sense, and how they’re going to keep that equipment running,” said Greg Jones, Executive Vice President at Sun Automation Group. “We work hard to make sure Sun Automation is a partner customers can rely on across more of their operation, not just for one machine or one need.”

Corrugated Week attendees can learn more about the Sun625® HD Rotary Die Cutter, LMC Mini and Jumbo flexo folder gluers, PARA automated material-handling solutions, including the CRAB system, and the Kolbus BX Motion Pro for short-run boxmaking. The portfolio reflects Sun Automation’s broader role across corrugated converting, boxmaking and material handling.

Sun Automation will also highlight ways plants can extend the value of existing equipment, including the Sun lead edge feeder, PLC and controls modernization, and Langston counter-ejector and folder-exit upgrades.

“For many plants, modernization is an important part of the equipment strategy,” Jones said. “The right upgrade or retrofit can help customers address aging systems and support continued performance without requiring a full machine replacement or rebuild.”

Beyond equipment and modernization, Sun Automation will highlight parts and service, PERFORM+ preventive maintenance, and Helios connected machine intelligence.

Helios is Sun Automation’s IIoT-enabled connected machine intelligence platform, helping box plants turn machine-level data into operational insight and greater visibility into equipment performance.

“The real value comes from knowing what the machine is telling you and being able to act on it,” said Gokul Gopakumar, Vice President of Technology and Business Development at Sun Automation Group. “Helios gives plant teams greater visibility into machine performance, while PERFORM+ and Sun Automation’s broader support capabilities help turn that visibility into smarter maintenance and equipment decisions.”

Corrugated Week attendees can visit Sun Automation Group at Booth 101 to learn more about how Sun Automation supports box makers across more of the production line and throughout the equipment lifecycle.
