MPS introduces EF flexo press in North and Latin America

Denny McGee, president of MPS America, said: ‘Our goal at MPS is to help printers excel. We listen closely to their needs and challenges, and develop solutions that specifically address them, that is for example why we made the EF available for both plate rolls or print sleeves at moment of order.’

McGee added: ‘‘The key for success in today’s label and packaging industry is the press operator. His or her skills, experience and motivation determine more than anything else the productivity and printing quality and, ultimately, the return on investment. It’s all about people.

‘However, finding and keeping these operators is one of the biggest challenges printers face. While we can’t help them find those people, we can develop printing presses that enable printers to get the most out of their press operators. Our EF press is a great example of this – combining choice of plating with automation, superior print quality and ease of operation.’

McGee added that the introduction of its new EF press is the first phase in a strategy to establish a strong presence in North America. The company is also expanding its sales presence with more demonstration sites and service presence by expanding the geography of its service providers. The effort is being led by McGee and Kees Nijenhuis, vice-president of the press manufacturer’s North American operations. They are joined by Eric Vandenberg, who is responsible for sales in the western US.

MPS Latin America is expanding its sales organization into the Colombian and Andean regions.

Both MPS America and MPS Latin America will be represented at Labelexpo Americas 2014, which takes place across September 9-11 in Rosemont, Illinois.
