RMGT Mitsubishi UK distributor MPL Ltd has announced that Steve Ennew has joined the team as of the beginning of April to bolster the technical sales capabilities of the business across its European distribution outlets.
With some 30 years of industry experience, including a previous position with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as European demonstrator and, more recently, six years at German press manufacturer KBA, Steve brings with him a wealth of industry knowledge and experience.
Commenting on his new appointment as Technical Sales Manager at MPL, Steve said: “The reliability, low cost of ownership, and the superb print quality of the RMGT Mitsubishi products is something that has always impressed me, so it is a delight to be working with them again. The ease with which the presses can settle into a business is testament to the build quality and the ethos of the brand.
“Originally coming into the print industry as a press minder, I have always been able to see the benefits that a reliable, high quality press can bring to a business. I know that the RMGT product is the right choice for many of the print businesses in the UK and Ireland for very many reasons – its part of my job to go out and convince printing companies that they need to consider these benefits to help take their businesses into the future.”
Commenting on the appointment, Mark Stribley, Joint Managing Director of MPL Ltd, said: “Steve’s industry knowledge and industry experience will be invaluable to us as we continue to take RMGT Mitsubishi presses forward across Europe. He will be working closely with our service team to ensure existing customers as well as new customers optimise the performance of their investment, as well as looking to further “preach the gospel” regarding the importance of press reliability – something that many printers in the UK are not fully appreciating or understanding.”
About M Partners
In 2010 M Partners took on the management of both sales and service for RMGT Litho Presses in the UK and Ireland. This relationship has since grown to encompass responsibility for technical service across the whole of Europe for the now re-named RMGT business. M Partners also manage spare parts storage and distribution for the former Mitsubishi branded machines across Europe.
This representation joins established products such as GUK folding and inserting equipment, primarily focused towards the pharmaceutical packaging sector. More recently the business has expanded into the digital market place following an announcement regarding exclusive distribution of large format printing equipment from Korean manufacturer DGI, and an agreement to re-sell Canon equipment, with a special focus on the unique proofing capabilities of those products.
M Partners offers manufacturers considerable marketing and business expertise across both the printing and packaging sectors and provides high-quality national coverage for sales, support and technical service.
The Joint Managing Directors established M Partners Ltd in 2006 after gaining many years of industry experience in senior management roles at a major press manufacturer and used equipment dealer. They were responsible for corporate and product marketing for pre-press, press, post-press and service, plus operational control for digital, consumables and used equipment divisions.
