Season’s greetings!

Plan ahead for final orders, and a first look at what’s coming next.

Mini Junior™ final order dates confirmed

Happy Holidays from all of us at CME. As we wrap up the year and look ahead to 2026, we want to share a quick planning update. In our last update, we shared that production of the Electric Mini Junior™ and Mini Junior™ pneumatic will end in Q1 2026. We can now confirm the planned final order dates:
 
• Mini Junior™ pneumatic (PMJ): January 31, 2026

• Electric Mini Junior™ (EMJ): March 31, 2026 (preliminary)
 

If these dates change due to customer demand or project timelines, we’ll let you know. But we strongly encourage you to plan ahead and place any final orders early.

As always, we’ve got your back

Don’t worry! Spare parts, service and technical support for existing Mini Junior™ machines will continue under our standard policies.

XR28 The next generation, phased launch.

Our team is finalizing the XR28 sharpeners, featuring technology not previously seen in button bit sharpeners. We’re completing validation in local markets before opening wider availability later in 2026. We’ll share more details on XR28 availability, features and options as we move through the launch phase.
