Kien Label installs the fifth MPS press

Kien Label, a Dutch producer of complex multi-layer labels and part of the Asteria Group, has further strengthened its production capabilities by adding an MPS EFS-430 8-color flexo press. This marks the company’s fifth MPS press and reflects its continued commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in label production. 

‘We're excited to introduce this advanced 8-color press to our operations,’ said Renier Simons, manager operations at Kien Label. ‘This investment allows us to boost our production capacity for standard self-adhesive labels, while also enhancing our sustainability with the latest LED drying technology. The MPS press improves our efficiency and frees up capacity on our other machines for more complex jobs.’ 

The EFS-430 replaces an older EC 330/4 model and offers a wider format along with more flexo stations, providing Kien Label with the flexibility to produce a broader range of labels. Although the focus on this new press remains on standard self-adhesive labels, the company continues to serve the multi-layer label sector within the Asteria Group. 

This purchase underscores Kien Label’s trust in MPS’s performance and customer service. With 5 MPS presses already in operation, including the new press replacing the 4-color machine, the company is confident that the new addition will contribute to further operational improvements. The press is also equipped with MPSConnect, allowing for real-time monitoring and performance optimization. 

‘We’ve always been satisfied with MPS machines and the support they provide,’ Simons added. ‘This new press will help us meet growing demand, increase productivity and maintain high-quality production.’ 

The new MPS press was successfully installed in early January 2025 and Kien Label shared its excitement with their network on LinkedIn, showcasing the new addition.
