Intercom Trade Services, a part of K-Group, represents many European brands, particularly in the field of extrusion, printing and converting. With operations out of Karachi, Intercom has a team of sales and service professionals. Located in Karachi, K-Group began operations in 1997 and provides services in the field of chemicals, machinery, office automation and archiving.

Kafil Shaikh, CEO and owner of K-Group, and representing Intercom Trade Services, commented: ‘MPS’s innovative range of high-caliber printing presses are an advantageous addition in the K-Group family for flexo label printing.’

MPS has identified Pakistan as a market with a lot of potential, as Eric Hoendervangers, MPS co-founder and commercial director, explained: ‘With highly populated cities like Karachi with over 21 million inhabitants, there is naturally a higher demand for consumer goods which require labels. We see K-Group offering a well-suited network to increase our market share in Pakistan.’
