As part of a long-term strategy to enhance production efficiency and expand high-graphics packaging capabilities, Sultana Packaging Group has reaffirmed its commitment to KOLBUS Group GmbH with the acquisition of a new RD 115S flexo rotary die-cutter for its facility in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
“The decision follows nearly a decade of successful operation with Hycorr rotary die-cutters, which have been in use since 2015 and have consistently delivered high reliability, stable performance, and strong KPI results on the production floor,” explains Ing. Juan Carlos Martínez-Daniel, Director General, Sultana Packaging Group. “This proven track record made Kolbus – who acquired Hycorr back in 2011 – the clear choice as we evaluated options to upgrade our converting assets.”
He continues, “This marks a significant milestone in our equipment modernisation program. To further support the goal of increasing market share in direct-print, high-graphics packaging, our leadership team visited the Kolbus manufacturing facility in Rahden, Germany. During the visit, the team evaluated machinery performance, engineering standards, and manufacturing quality firsthand. The experience highlighted Kolbus’s attention to detail and technical excellence, reinforcing confidence in the partnership.”
“We are delighted to be continuing the excellent working relationship with Sultana,” explains Roman Lopez, Managing Director, Kolbus de Mexico. “We have a relationship that goes back many years already, and this latest sale of the RD 115S to Sultana is based on years of solid production from their existing machines.”
He concludes, “We are excited about starting up the latest ‘Made in Germany’ technology at Sultana soon and we know that the quality of box production will enable the continuing growth of their company, already being one of the regions most well respected producers of corrugated packaging.”
