reliability, and long-term value. “A defining driver of SUN’s growth continues to be the SUN625 Heavy Duty Rotary Die Cutter. What began as a response to customer demand for higher structural integ- rity and long-order stability has rapidly evolved into one of the most talked-about rotary die cutters in the North Amer- ican market. “The SUN625HD is engineered for high-volume, high- speed production, featuring a fixed-frame design with re- inforced side frames, increased load capacity, larger jour- nal diameters, and significantly reduced deflection under load. These enhancements directly translate into improved cut accuracy, longer tool life, and consistent performance on demanding long-run applications. “Following its initial installations, the SUN625HD has seen accelerated acceptance across multiple regions, with additional purchases and installations continuing through 2027. Customers are increasingly standardizing on the HD platform for operations where uptime, durability, and reliability are non-negotiable. This growing installed base reflects not only the machine’s mechanical advantages, but also SUN’s ability to support it with experienced tech- nicians, responsive parts and service availability, and long- term lifecycle support. “SUN’s long-standing partnership with Latitude Machin- ery Corp (LMC) remains another cornerstone of its success heading into 2026. LMC’s servo-driven Flexo Folder Glu- ers and Rotary Die Cutters continue to deliver exceptional speed, accuracy, and set-while-run efficiency for indepen- dent producers. “In addition to continued growth in North and Central America, 2026 marks a significant expansion of LMC sup- port into the UK and European markets, where demand for high-performance, full-servo converting solutions contin- ues to rise. SUN’s service infrastructure and parts support have scaled accordingly, ensuring customers receive the same 24/7/365 support model that has become synony- mous with SUN’s reputation. “LMC’s latest servo platforms deliver higher sustained speeds, improved registration, reduced noise, and tighter tolerances — all while maintaining operator-friendly con- trols and efficient changeovers. These attributes make LMC an increasingly attractive option for producers seek- ing long-term productivity gains without unnecessary complexity. Numerous independents across the industry have made repeated machine investments over several years, underscoring the productivity and reliability of the equipment. “SUN’s collaboration with Kolbus continues to expand its portfolio in short-run, specialty, and on-demand con- verting. The BX Motion Pro has continued to gain momen- tum as a flexible solution for short runs, fast changeovers, and labor-efficient production, with new installations kick- ing off the year in the DFW market.
