MPS global sales & marketing director Eric Hoendervangers said: “Latin America has great potential for MPS, and we have shown our commitment of support there with the recent appointment of three new local agents Fencsa, Coras do Brasil and Ferrostaal Chile. Niels van Groenendaal will provide further dedicated support to all our agents and customers in this territory as well as in Spain.”

After his initial training on MPS printing press technologies in the Technology & Expertise Centre at company headquarters in Arnhem, Niels van Groenendaal will travel throughout Latin America and Spain to meet local representatives, printers and customers.

van Groenendaal said: “I look forward to meeting our local representatives and joining appointments to meet local printers and customers, and learning more about the market. It is an honour to join a reputable company such as MPS and take part in their global growth plan.”
