Tucson Container Invests In Third Kolbus Hycorr Rotary Die Cutter Tucson, Arisona based Tucson Container, part of the Cali- fornia Box Group, has partnered with Kolbus America and purchased a 66-inch by 115-inch 3-color Kolbus Hycorr Ro- tary Die Cutter to be installed at its Tucson facility. The 115-inch Hycorr Rotary Die Cutter has an updated Kolbus feed section with servo-controlled drive technol- ogy, the latest operator-machine control interface, and Kolbus 3.60 remote diagnostics. It also features a slit and score section and Serrapid quick change die-mount cylin- der. Installation is planned for early Q1 of 2022. The partnership between Tucson Container and Kol- bus Hycorr dates back to 1998, when Tucson and West Texas sheet plants purchased their Hycorr 66-inch by 85- inch and 66-inch by 115-inch Rotary Die Cutters with sheet stackers from Hycorr Machine Corporation.

“Tucson Container’s changing demands of current cus- tomers led us to look into purchasing a new machine,” said David Alvarado, General Manager at Tucson Container. “We decided to go with another Kolbus Hycorr, due to their superb service, reputation of reliability, and the success we’ve had with our first two Hycorr die cutters. They creat- ed greater value and built competitive advantages for our customers and Tucson Container.” “Our confidence in Kolbus America came from com- paring the performances and specifications of our eight rotary die cutters in operation in our five plants to the cur- rent market and machines,” said Chris Widera, President of Tucson Container. “We’re pleased that Tucson Container chose our state- of-the-art Kolbus Hycorr machine and we are looking forward to this continued partnership with our longtime, valued customer,” said Jeffrey Dietz, President of Kolbus America. Since its inception, Tucson Container has placed a spe- cial importance on its customers, people and technology. A constant program of preventive maintenance, ISO-9001, and housekeeping is provided to insure that the machin- ery and trucks are in 100 percent working order to handle the constant changing requirements of its customers. Not only does TCC save on expenses, but we are helping to preserve what matters most to the future – families, cus- tomers and jobs.
