The sales office will be run by Julian Malin who has joined the New York-headquartered company as sales director for Europe.
MPS operates in the cosmetics, healthcare, multimedia and other consumer goods markets, offering graphic design and structural design services as well as coating and finishing expertise.
Global expansion
The company has been rapidly expanding both into the cosmetics sector and globally, with a number of recent acquisitions and partnerships.
One of its first moves into the cosmetics market was the purchase of Great Western Industries in early 2008, which was shortly followed by the acquisition of Innovative Creative Packaging Solutions based in New Jersey.
In an effort to expand geographically, the company has entered into a partnership with Pozolli Spa, which produces printed carton packaging for CDs, DVDs and other consumer goods including cosmetics and is based in Italy.
Commenting on the new office in London, CEO Marc Shore said: “In building the company over the last five years, we have focused on providing a complete range of products, services, and technologies to fully support customer needs for distinctive branding, innovative ideas, and turnkey solutions.”
“We are now extending our market knowledge and best practices to complete the supply chain in Europe for seamless brand management on a global scale,” he added.
According to MPS, it will be using its new London sales office to extend its global presence.
