MPS Printing Relaunches Under Management Buy-Out, Ensuring Stability and Continuity for Customers

MPS Printing formally restarted operations under a Management Buy-Out (MBO), marking the beginning of a new phase centered on stability, continuity, and renewed commitment to its global customer base. The buy-out, supported by Nick Tyrer and MPS co-founder Bert van den Brink, ensures that leadership with deep knowledge of the company, its technology, and its customers is steering the business forward.

The new management team includes Richard Miedema, responsible for commercial leadership and market strategy; Michiel Borst, who has played a central role in navigating the transition and overseeing operational and financial processes; and co-founder Bert van den Brink, whose technical expertise and long-term vision shaped MPS’s original success. Together, they will drive a customer-focused strategy rooted in engineering excellence and dependable service.

For customers, the restart means continued access to machines, spare parts, service, and technical support. MPS Printing is prioritizing continuity and minimizing operational disruption, while acknowledging the uncertainty caused by the previous legal proceedings. Existing orders will be fulfilled wherever possible, and customers will be contacted directly if adjustments are required.

Because the new company is a separate legal entity, payments and invoices dated before the bankruptcy fall under the responsibility of the court-appointed trustee and the Dutch bankruptcy procedure. The relaunched MPS Printing can only process and pay for obligations related to orders placed after the restart.

The company is planning to honor previously agreed pricing and terms wherever possible and will let customers know if adjustments are needed. Service contracts will be reviewed individually, and while minor delays may occur during the transition, MPS Printing is strengthening its logistics and support capacity to improve responsiveness.

Although the new entity cannot compensate for financial losses incurred during the bankruptcy, leadership emphasizes its commitment to rebuilding trust through reliability, transparency, and strengthened long-term partnerships. The product portfolio remains unchanged, and MPS Printing will continue to support installed equipment while developing future technologies to help customers maintain productivity and competitiveness.
