MPS has revealed it will be moving location to a new headquarters in Arnhem, the Netherlands, in March 2015, as part of a comprehensive rebranding campaign.
The relocation to modern facilities in Arnhem, will help solidify the company’s strategic international growth plan. The new facilities will centralise its manufacturing and operations, and offers a spacious demonstration, test and customer experience centre to run demonstration of MPS press solutions.
The assembly of the production hall will incorporate lean manufacturing principles of eliminating waste, focus on empowering workers, minimise inventory, and increased productivity, to meet customer expectations and requirements.
The efficiencies of the lean production process and resulting lead time reduction will make it possible to build an increased number of presses simultaneously in multiple assembly lines.
Environment-friendly and energy saving measures such as LED lightning and heat-recovery are also incorporated in the new space design. For example, hot air produced from the cooling installations will be re-used as heating, and the exhaust will be frequency controlled to prevent unnecessary exhaust ventilation.
The company will launch a new corporate brand strategy which will be rolled out in stages leading up towards the move. The underlying philosophy of the rebranding strategy is the company’s commitment to help customers excel by providing extensive knowledge, world-class service and product innovation to enhance the printing process.
‘The next few months will be an exciting milestone in the history of MPS,’ commented Wim van den Bosch, CEO. ‘With years of proven success, the combination of new headquarters and corporate identity communicates MPS’s commitment to our customers, the narrow web print industry, and future growth goals, at an international level.’
