Superior Lithographics invests in BW Papersystems’ SheetRunner

In a continued show of confidence and collaboration, Superior Lithographics has once again partnered with BW Papersystems, investing in a new SheetRunner Sheeter to further expand production capacity and improve operational flexibility at its Los Angeles facility.

Superior Lithographics is a key supplier to the food and beverage packaging industry, specializing in high-graphic folding cartons and large-format litho labels. With packaging demand on the rise, particularly in heavier caliper substrates, the company sought a solution to help meet both volume and material-handling challenges.

“We are proud to add an additional state-of-the-art sheeter to our portfolio, and I know our sheeter teams are excited to tackle this opportunity,” said Jeff Ku, President and General Manager, Superior Lithographics. “It’s refreshing to work with a partner that shares similar company vision and values. The SheetRunner sets a great foundation for the next stage of success for our team members and our customers.”

The new SheetRunner Sheeter will operate alongside Superior’s existing SheetWizard—also supplied by BW Papersystems nearly a decade ago. While the SheetWizard will continue to handle lighter caliper boards and papers, the SheetRunner is configured specifically for high-volume processing of 16pt and heavier board stocks. Key technical features such as a robust decurling system and high-speed splicer position the sheeter to deliver both precision and productivity.

“The BW Papersystems team has shown a genuine commitment to understanding our specific application needs and delivering a solution that fits seamlessly into our operations,” said Ku. “They’ve worked closely with us to ensure the installation and ramp-up support our performance goals and operator development.”

This investment reflects Superior Lithographics broader strategy to combine equipment innovation with workforce enablement—training new operators and creating advancement pathways through technology adoption.
