The first MPS press, installed at Ovelar by Spanish distributor Grupo Impryma, was an EXL-packaging UV flexo press with a wide-format print size of 660mm. Its new EF-410 full servo 8-color UV flexo press is equipped with Automatic Print Control, which sets print pressures automatically.

Jess Ovelar, president of Ovelar, said: 'The new MPS press will provide a greater degree of flexibility and higher printing quality of shrink sleeve labels, where Ovelar is a market leader'.

Founded in 1970, Ovelar manufactures adhesive rolls, self-adhesive labels and printed films for national and international markets. Its modern 23,000m sq production facilities are based in Arganda del Rey, supporting a Europe-wide sales network.
