BW Papersystems Marks 50th ServoPro Rotary Die Cutter Installation
- Published: March 10, 2026, By Trevor
BW Papersystems announced the installation of its 50th ServoPro Rotary Die Cutter, a milestone that reflects accelerating demand for high-speed converting, intuitive operation and uptime-focused design across the corrugated industry.
Designed for reliability, flexibility and operator ease, the BW Papersystems ServoPro has gained rapid adoption among customers looking to increase throughput while reducing setup and maintenance time. BW Papersystems’ customers are reporting stronger performance, improved quality and measurable efficiency gains.
“Fifty installations is a meaningful marker, not just for us, but for the customers placing their trust in ServoPro,” said Neal McConnellogue, President of Corrugating and CCO, BW Papersystems. “We built ServoPro to solve real production challenges. The pace of industry adoption and early repeat customers shows that BW Papersystems continues to be the industry leader for reliable rotary die cutters.”
ServoPro is now operating in 11 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia, with 29 machines going to repeat customers.
“This milestone is both validation and motivation,” said Maximo Leyva, Vice President, Product Line Leader, Finishing, BW Papersystems. “ServoPro serves converters of many sizes and regions, and our momentum is only growing as customers increasingly look for proven reliability in their operations.”
Designed for today’s production requirements, ServoPro’s value centers on:
- Precision at speed: A true full-servo open/close rotary die cutter that delivers consistent die cutting, fast changeovers and stable performance at today’s higher line speeds, with options to run at 225 boxes per minute.
- Uptime and longevity: Ultra-heavy-duty mechanical design minimizes deflection and wear, reducing unplanned downtime and protecting performance over the life of the machine.
- Operator-focused design: Intuitive controls, repeatable setups and simplified adjustments help crews run efficiently with less dependency on tribal knowledge. The updated full-width fully servo-driven feed end increases board control on wider sheets, improving stability at the high speeds customers demand.
With continued interest from multi-machine fleets, BW Papersystems expects sustained growth through 2026 and beyond as converters prepare for higher output and ongoing workforce turnover.
