MPS has strengthened its local presence in Eastern Europe for its flexo, offset and hybrid presses with the appointment of two new agents, B+K Kft and Macron Systems.
B+K Kft, represented by Béla Hanuszek, is now the local MPS agent in Hungary; and Macron Systems, with representation by Bohumír Straka, now handles the Czech Republic.
Macron Systems already represents industry partners of MPS, including Domino, AB Graphic and Esko. According to Mr Straka, the hybrid EF Symjet press introduced at Labelexpo Europe 2019 in a new 430mm (17in) width was well received by printers in the Czech Republic.
‘Our synergy with both MPS and Domino provides us a strong advantage in consulting, selling and servicing hybrid projects,’ said Mr Straka. ‘I’m confident that there are great opportunities for MPS in this area.’
Returning as an MPS agent is Mr Hanuszek with B+K Kft. Based in Szombathely, Hungary, B+K Kft is a family business that has been in the industry for over 30 years. Sebastiaan Rakhorst, MPS area sales manager for this region, said, ‘We’re pleased to have Béla back on board. He has proved to be a successful agent who is well-known in the Hungarian market.’
MPS CEO Atze Bosma said, ‘We warmly welcome B+K and Macron Systems to the MPS family. I look forward to doing business with both respected parties in Hungary and the Czech Republic.’
