As of October 27, 2025, label and packaging press manufacturer MPS announced that several of its Dutch entities have filed for a provisional suspension of payments. The measure, which affects MPS Holding B.V., MPS Systems B.V., MPS Service & Commissioning B.V., and MPS Supply Chain B.V., is designed to create space for financial restructuring while ensuring long-term continuity. During this period, payments to creditors with non-preferential claims are temporarily halted. An independent administrator has been appointed to collaborate with management to evaluate restructuring options and develop a sustainable solution for all stakeholders.

Despite the financial filing, 2025 has been a year of innovation and development for MPS. The company introduced a new brand identity, “Connect to Grow,” which emphasizes performance and partnership, and launched the EF Packaging press designed for a range of packaging applications. At Labelexpo Europe 2025, MPS also debuted its Performance Ecosystem, a data-driven platform that allows converters to use real-time production insights to improve operational efficiency.

Throughout the year, MPS continued to strengthen its global presence through new installations and partnerships. Recent highlights include the installation of a flexo press for Bähren Pharma Packaging in October, a new press installation at Coveris in June, and a distribution agreement with SMAG in France. These milestones underscore MPS’s ongoing commitment to supporting converters with advanced technology and productivity solutions as it navigates its financial restructuring process.
