Label manufacturer Interket UK has purchased a new eight-colour, fully automated MPS EFA 530 flexographic press, the deal being signed at Labelexpo Europe 2019, where MPS sold a total of 12 presses.
‘In addition to expanding our flexo printing strength for on-roll self-adhesive labels, we are looking to broaden into new markets, and increasing our security product offering,’ said Tim Pattison, sales and operations director at Interket. ‘Booklet multi-layer labels is a specialty we are seriously considering, which our new MPS press is perfectly capable of producing.’
The company, based in Whaley Bridge, already had an MPS press and were more than happy to invest in another. ‘We are happy to have such a good relationship with MPS,’ added Vince Hughes Interket’s coating and technical manager. ‘As our press supplier, there definitely is a long-term partnership strategy in place, and together with MPS we look forward to a successful future.’
‘It’s a pleasure to see Interket UK invest and grow with MPS machinery at its core, not only here in the UK but across the whole Interket Group,’ said MPS sales director Nick Tyrer. ‘Interket UK laid the fundamental platform for the partnership and Tim and Vince have been invaluable in making this partnership the success that it is today. This third machine is a little more diverse than the previous two machines, so it will be interesting to see Interket UK spread their wings into different and more diverse market sectors.’
