Paramount Labels & Tags has installed an eight colour MPS EB 370 flexo press, with plans to invest in two more in 2020.
The Staffordshire-based label printer already had three six colour flexo presses, along with a digital inkjet press and various finishing equipment, but decided the time had come for an upgrade.
‘We started to look at various eight colour flexo presses,’ explained managing director Phil Wright. ‘This would help us push our sales team into different markets and also enable us to produce a higher quality print than the existing presses, and also at a much higher speed. This then would enable us to provide a better cost for our customers, by allowing us to put more work through this new press.’
The company proceeded to investigate all the leading machine manufacturers before deciding on MPS. ‘Our floor space is limited,’ Mr Wright continued. ‘Which led to a choice of three manufacturers. We chose MPS because of the presence and reputation that they have in the marketplace in regard to build quality and reliability.
‘We looked at the ease of operation and set-up times along with press run speeds and were very impressed by the performance of the press. MPS were very helpful in identifying ancillary equipment that we would need and were a constant source of information when we needed any help during the project. When we first embarked on this project, we set a budget that we really didn’t want to go beyond, MPS were instrumental in making sure that the project respected this and did all they could to ensure that we got the best possible deal throughout the entire process.’
‘We are of course delighted that Paramount Labels made us their chosen supplier,’ added Nick Tyrer, sales director at MPS Systems. ‘It’s always great to be able to supply a press to a growing company such as Paramount Labels, in a small way you want to be part of the reason that they reach their goals and achieve the success they deserve. It’s been a real pleasure and a privilege to get to know Phil and the team at Paramount, we sincerely hope that they continue their success story and grow as they intend.’
