Hine Labels takes first MPS EB-series press

Hine Labels, a self-adhesive label manufacturer based in the UK, has signed an order for the first MPS EB 370-series press, launched at Labelexpo Europe 2013. The EB flexo press is dedicated to highly efficient production of pressure-sensitive labels, and is described at the most cost efficient press yet developed by MPS.

Also shown at Labelexpo was the extended MPS EF multi-substrate press line, with three versions ranging in price level and level of automation. Multiple orders of all three versions of the new EF press line were received during the show including the demonstrated EF-APC Advanced press, which was sold to Scanket based in Denmark. Complementing the product range on the MPS stand was the EXL-Packaging line with a hot air dryer and demonstrations of the EXL-Offset press with variable sleeves.

The diversity of geographical markets was also reflected in the signed orders received, including a contract for a new MPS EF press from a printer in Uzbekistan, and amongst others an order for an EF-APC Advanced press from a printer located in India.

Eric Hoendervangers, MPS Commercial Director and Co-Founder reflects: ‘The awarded sales at Labelexpo Europe was characterized by a balanced division of existing and new customers and markets. We were pleased with the representation of the MPS distribution network in our stand, including our Chinese distributor Jebsen, attending Labelexpo Europe for the first time. The successful show is a result of the well-planned and executed sales strategy in the last few years, in which MPS increased its sales capacity by appointing new distributors and extending its sales and service network globally.’
