Ulrich Etiketten invests in offset with MPS press

The MPS EXL-Offset purchased by Ulrich Etiketten includes eight color UV print stations and a web width of 430mm. It is Ulrich Etiketten’s seventh investment in MPS technology as it already operates six flexo presses from the Dutch manufacturer. The EXL-Offset press is built with variable sleeves and combines six offset print and two flexo print stations, and will be equipped with various converting units such as multi-lamination and de-lam/re-lam for the printing of booklet labels.

Ulrich Etiketten selected the MPS EXL-Offset based on the technology it features, attractive price point and reliability, MPS said.

Florian Ulrich, chief executive officer of Ulrich Etiketten, said: ‘We are very happy with MPS. The quality of MPS presses and our long-term relationship led to our decision to once again opt for an MPS press.’

Eric Hoendervangers, co-founder of MPS, added: ‘We see it as a great compliment that a quality-oriented Austrian company such as Ulrich Etiketten has opted for our EXL-Offset press. MPS has a very high rate of repeat customer sales, however when a loyal MPS flexo customer adds a first MPS offset press to its machine park, it confirms that our technology, service and printing knowledge helps label printers in their success.

‘In general, we have noticed a growing interest at an international level for our EXL-Offset presses since its initial launch at Labelexpo Europe 2011.’
