As we enter 2026, manufacturers across North America continue to focus on two goals that define the modern corrugated plant — increasing automation and supporting operators through smart, reliable technology. For over 35 years, Hitek Equipment, Inc., has been proud to help converters achieve both.
Partnering with globally recognized brands, Hitek delivers machinery that combines speed, precision, and ease of use — all backed by a U.S.-based service and parts team ready to support customers every step of the way.
BCM Transtech remains the world leader in automated storage systems for rotary dies, flat dies, and print plates. Their goal is simple: help customers protect valuable tooling while maximizing floor efficiency and safety.
The newest BCM semi-automatic crane simplifies control to such a degree that new operators can be trained in minutes. The system’s smart layout ensures dies are always accessible and secure, while BCM’s Mobilator system improves ergonomics by reducing manual handling and injury risk. With more than a decade of BCM installations across the United States, Hitek and BCM continue to set the standard for organized, efficient production floors.
Innovation continues from Mikawa with the updated Marumatsu Edge, the newest evolution of flatbed die cutting technology. Designed for today’s short-run and quick-turn corrugated work, the Edge dramatically reduces setup time and operator involvement.
By combining Marumatsu’s proven Japanese engineering with simplified digital control, the Edge can be production-ready within minutes. The chaseless mounting system and intelligent order memory make repeat jobs faster than ever. With precision, reliability, and safety built in, the Edge helps converters adapt to the market’s demand for flexibility and rapid turnaround.
For decades, Lian Tiee has been recognized for building robust Flexo Folder Gluers and Rotary Die Cutters that deliver lasting performance. Their latest generation control systems take that reliability to new heights — optimizing repeat setups, improving order accuracy, and providing automated maintenance reminders that keep machines running at peak condition.
Operators appreciate how easy it is to transition between orders, and managers value the consistency and uptime that Lian Tiee equipment provides. The result: smoother workflows, shorter training cycles, and higher morale on the plant floor.
The KT series of flatbed die cutters from Hitek offers exceptional flexibility for converters producing a wide range of materials and board grades. These machines are engineered for speed and simplicity with full setup in as little as five minutes and compatibility with substrates from 0.01″ to AB double wall.
Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the KT line allows operators to confidently handle everything from prototypes to full production orders. It’s the perfect balance of precision and practicality, empowering teams to deliver high-quality results with less downtime.
At the center of every partnership is Hitek’s dedication to service. Our engineers and technicians don’t just install machines — they ensure long-term success. From preventive maintenance and training to a stocked U.S. parts inventory, Hitek provides the peace of mind that comes with real local support.
In an industry where time and consistency matter most, Hitek continues to focus on what truly counts: helping customers work smarter, faster, and safer.
If your plant is exploring automation or modernizing production, we’re ready to help you find the right solution. Let’s make 2026 your most productive year yet.
