Durst Group to acquire MPS Printing

Durst Group, an international manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technologies, has announced that it will acquire Netherlands-based MPS Printing B.V. Jan. 1, 2027. The company will become a part of Durst Group and operate under the name MPS.

The acquisition will represent a further strategic step in Durst’s long-term commitment to the labels and flexible packaging market. The industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Customers of all sizes are looking for greater automation, more connected workflows and production environments that can efficiently handle a growing variety of applications, run lengths and business models.

“Label production is becoming increasingly connected, automated and data-driven,” says Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group. “Our customers need production environments that allow them to manage different applications, run lengths and business models with maximum efficiency and flexibility. Durst already has strong capabilities in digital printing, software and hybrid production. With MPS, we are adding further flexographic expertise, technology and engineering capabilities to the Group. This will give us additional integration options and allow us to pursue complementary development paths in parallel. It means we can innovate faster, address a broader range of customer requirements and bring new solutions to market more quickly.”
