Provider of corrugated feeding, printing and converting equipment, Sun Automation is celebrating after reaching 30 years of supplying the packaging industry.
The company’s first product, Extend-O-Feed Lead Edge Feeder changed feeding with increased speed, reduced feed roll crush and jam-free operation. Serving both equipment manufacturers as well as direct end-users, it continued to innovate by developing solutions to many operational challenges.
‘We continue to build on our original vision of helping the industry produce more, at higher quality, and lower cost,’ said Ron Deideman, president, ‘Our focus will always be on developing products to meet the challenges facing our customers and the industry. We won’t lose sight of our founder’s core belief in quality.’
Products launched since its first include SunTrac vacuum transfer, digital harmonic registers, SunSet computer control system, and MicroGrind die cut accuracy system for rotary die cutting. All of these developments assisted converters looking to improve quality and performance. Printing received its first upgrade from Sun Automation in the 1990s with the dual chambered doctor blades system and in the mid-2000’s with the more economical single blade systems.
In addition to its own research and development, the company acquired assets from Langston Corporation in 2001.
To best serve customers, the company opened centres around the globe. Having parts and service centres strategic placed means customers get support quickly and cost-effectively.
Anniversary celebrations are planned throughout the year, including special product demonstrations and customer celebrations.
