MPS has made three key appointments to its global
sales team in response to successful international sales and preparation of
forecasted future growth of its flexo, hybrid and offset printing presses. Joining MPS in the role of Area Sales Manager
are Niels van Groenendaal, Suwannee Tantisrisuk and Sebastiaan Rakhorst.
Niels van Groenendaal is the dedicated Area Sales
Manager for Spain and Latin America. Van Groenendaal brings seven years of international sales
experience in Europe and the Middle East, with his most recent role as Sales
Account Manager at the Dutch firm Securitech B.V., a supplier of specialized

Eric Hoendervangers, Global Sales & Marketing
Director at MPS commented: “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. “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,” added van Groenendaal.
Van Groenendaal will also meet the Latin American

based in Bangkok, Thailand and is responsible for South-East Asia with a focus
on Thailand and surrounding countries. She brings a wealth of direct knowledge
and experience to the role through her ownership of a label printing company
where she also operated flexo presses.
Tim Klappe, Managing Director MPS Asia commented:
“With Suwannee’s experience as a business owner in this industry, combined with
knowledge of flexo technology, she brings a valuable user-perspective to the
position and our team, and will be instrumental in our plan to increase
presence in the Asian label printing market.”

The third addition to the MPS sales force is
Sebastiaan Rakhorst, appointed as Junior Area Sales Manager. After finishing
his higher education in Economics, Sebastiaan gained experience in
international sales, marketing and export. Rakhorst is beginning his career at
MPS in an intensive traineeship program to gain valuable insight across
multiple departments within MPS, and will develop into the role of Area Sales
Manager.
CEO of MPS, Wim van den Bosch commented: “At MPS,
we are always looking for young talent to join our team. We offer a range of
internships and traineeship programs in production, engineering, marketing,
finance and more, and encourage applicants to identify their area of interest.
“We warmly welcome Niels van Groenendaal, Suwannee
Tantisrisuk and Sebastiaan Rakhorst to MPS and look forward to the unique
