PHILADELPHIA, PA—As of January 2020, MPS Systems North America Inc will be operational in Philadelphia, PA. The North American subsidiary of the Dutch-based press builder is set to move from current facilities in Green Bay, WI.
The new facility in Levittown (near Philadelphia) is logistically more convenient than the current location in Green Bay, WI, explained Harm-Jan de Jong, vice president of MPS Systems North America Inc. “We have found a brand new location ideally located between Philadelphia and New York City, providing more travel flexibility than our current North American home in Green Bay.”
MPS first opened its North American organization in 2015 and moved to another demo facility in 2017. De Jong said, “Over the years, our North American organization has grown considerably, and now it’s time for a new chapter. With our partners Imageworx, Domino, Esko and Label Traxx, we’re ready to offer label printers an end-to-end demonstration experience that includes connectivity, prepress advice, and many services that extend beyond the machine.”
The new building includes shared offices with Imageworx and other industry partners. MPS’ North American Technology & Expertise Center will be equipped with a brand-new 13-in. wide hybrid EF SYMJET press, which has seven flexo print units, a 6-color inkjet engine, a delam/relam unit with turner bar, cold foil and lamination units, die cutting and a conveyer belt inline.
Dilip Shah, senior sales and technical support manager, will oversee the demonstrations, together with Hans Poortinga, who is moving from the Netherlands to the United States. Poortinga said, “I’m excited to be part of this next step for MPS Systems North America, and working with Dilip Shah and the team to get our new demo facility up and running. Showing the North American market what our presses are capable of, and proving that seeing is believing, will be extremely rewarding!”
A festive Grand Opening of the North American Technology & Expertise Center is planned for Jan. 22 & 23 and will be themed “Labels Connected.”
During this event, MPS and its partners (Esko, Tabel Traxx and more) will celebrate the opening of the new facility with connectivity-themed presentations, customer testimonials and live demonstrations.
Those interested in learning more about MPS presses and everything beyond are welcome to attend the Grand Opening.
As per Jan. 6, the new address of MPS Systems North America Inc will be:
8400 Bristol Pike Bldg A
