Gerrity Corrugated Expands Capabilities With LMC Equipment And SUN Automation Support Ontario, Canada based Gerrity Corrugated is strengthening its position in the corrugated packaging market through targeted investments that drive growth, improve efficiency, and enhance customer responsiveness. As a sheet converting plant serving food, pharmaceutical, and manufac- turing customers, Gerrity depends on machinery that performs reliably and keeps pace with increasing demand. That focus led the company to the partnership between Latitude Machinery Corp. (LMC) and SUN Automation Group. A Partnership Built on Value And Performance Gerrity’s relationship with LMC began two years ago with the pur- chase of an 89-inch Jumbo Die Cutter. The results of that first installation set the stage for an expanding partnership.
• Only standard hand tools are required for all maintenance • Direct drive with no chains or sprockets • No tools for media change required » just zip it up » media change out in minutes • Filter is accessible for visual inspection during operation, Significant Advantages Over Conventional Dust Filtration Technology
» no shutdown required • Filter media advantages - high dust collection efficiency
“We were really impressed with what the Jumbo could do,” says Chris Maisonneuve, Operations Manager at Gerrity Corrugated Paper Prod- ucts Ltd. “Once we saw the capabilities and the value LMC offered, it made sense to explore their flexo options. The PP1 is our second LMC machine in as many years, and both have delivered exactly what we needed.” SUN Automation, the exclusive North American representative for LMC, worked closely with Gerrity to identify the right solutions and align the project with ambitious timelines. The collaboration reinforced Gerri- ty’s confidence that LMC equipment would support both immediate pro- duction needs and long-term growth. Metrics That Matter When Gerrity evaluated new equipment, the company had clear re- quirements for performance, price, and lead time. LMC met all three. The LMC Jumbo Die Cutter expanded the plant’s capabilities immedi- ately. With its 89 x 189 capacity, Gerrity could take on larger-format work that previously required outsourcing. “Jumbo allows us to enter new markets as we did not have that capa- bility before,” says Maisonneuve. “This machine has been instrumental in helping us keep up with increased demand.” The PP1 Mini Flexo Folder Gluer added another layer of efficiency. Designed for speed, accuracy, and fast setup, the Mini introduced major workflow improvements. Its full-servo architecture, dual vacuum transfer, ball screw slotting system, and Windows-based control platform give op- erators control and consistency across jobs. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
