Acme Corrugated Box Co., Inc. is adding a Valmet IQ Quality Control System for its corrugator at its facility in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, to enhance board quality and production efficiency. The system is scheduled to start up in the Q2 2026, according to the technology supplier Valmet.

The delivery includes Valmet IQ Warp Measurement, Valmet IQ Moisturizer, Valmet IQ Multipoint Moisture, and microwave moisture measurement, integrated with automatic closed-loop controls.
