The Shinko Mini was not only introduced but also successfully installed at customer locations, quickly gain- ing traction as an ideal solution for short-run, high-quality production without sacrificing performance. “Equally important in 2025 was Global’s continued in- vestment in its people.

This expansion re- flects Global’s ongoing commitment to after-sale support. “We also officially introduced the Shinko Velocity, a high-speed rotary die cutter engineered for performance, precision, and speed. Designed to push production limits while maintaining exceptional accuracy, the Velocity rep- resents the next evolution of Shinko engineering. “In addition to new introductions, Global is seeing a powerful trend among existing customers: repeat invest- ment.

Known for its high speeds, quick order change- overs, tight print registration, and unmatched folding ac- curacy, the Super Alpha remains a cornerstone of many converting operations. “Looking ahead, one of the most anticipated mile- stones for 2026 is the launch of the first-ever 1645 66 x
