SUN Automation Group Expands Corrugated Offerings Through Strategic Partnership with Kolbus Group

February 24, 2025

SUN to Serve as Exclusive U.S. and Canada Agent and Distributor for Kolbus Machinery and Aftermarket Support

SUN Automation Group, a global leader in innovative solutions for the corrugated industry, has announced a strategic partnership with Kolbus Group, a renowned manufacturer of corrugated machinery.  Effective immediately, SUN will serve as the exclusive U.S. and Canadian agent and distributor for Kolbus machinery, parts, and service, including the RD rotary die cutter and BX Motion product lines. Additionally, SUN will manage aftermarket parts and service for Hycorr rotary die cutters—supporting the hundreds of Hycorr machines currently operating in North America.

This collaboration represents a major expansion of SUN’s product and service portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to providing world-class solutions for both independent and integrated boxmakers.

“The U.S. corrugated market presents the biggest growth opportunity for Kolbus, and this partnership with SUN Automation Group positions us to better serve customers in this key region,” said Dr. Thomas Grimm-Bosbach, CEO of Kolbus Group. “We are fully committed to the corrugated marketplace and excited to work alongside SUN, a trusted leader known for its service and innovation.”

By leveraging SUN’s established infrastructure and aftermarket expertise, this partnership ensures unmatched domestic support, service, and accessibility for the Kolbus product line.

“Kolbus aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver the best-in-class technology, innovation, and support to the corrugated industry,” said Greg Jones, Executive Vice President at SUN Automation Group. “Our partnership is built on trust, confidence, and a shared commitment to providing boxmakers with high-quality, performance-driven solutions.”

As the exclusive U.S. and Canadian distributor, SUN’s industry-leading aftermarket support will provide a seamless experience for existing Kolbus and Hycorr customers, delivering the high level of service and reliability the industry has come to expect.

“By aligning with SUN, Kolbus gains the infrastructure needed to provide the domestic aftermarket support that is critical for long-term success in the U.S. and Canada,” said Jeff Dietz, President of Kolbus Americas Inc., “Our partnership strengthens our ability to support customers at every stage, providing them with a competitive advantage in an evolving market.”

“Kolbus’ engineered solutions complement our existing product line, strengthening our ability to serve more boxmakers across the industry,” said Chris Kyger, President of SUN Automation Group. “Our confidence in their technology and shared commitment to innovation and customer service make this partnership a natural fit.”
