MPS, Dutch developer and supplier of printing technologies for labels and flexible packaging, has been declared bankrupt, suspending all operational activities including production, deliveries, and services.
“Until very shortly before the bankruptcy, a clear continuity scenario with rescue plan was on the table,” the company said in a statement. “When that collapsed at the very last moment, the company had no option but to file for bankruptcy.”
By order of the District Court of Gelderland dated October 28, 2025, the company’s entities including MPS Holding B.V., MPS Systems B.V., MPS Service & Commissioning B.V., and MPS Supply Chain B.V. have been declared bankrupt.
E.R. Looijen, attorney at Stellicher advocaten N.V., has been appointed as a trustee in the bankruptcies. The court has also imposed a two-month cooling-off period.
As a result of the bankruptcies, the trustee is now responsible for safeguarding the company’s assets, assessing the financial situation, and exploring possibilities for a going-concern sale of the assets to preserve the brand, technology, and availability of spare parts for existing customers.
Currently, all operational activities – including production, deliveries, and services – are temporarily suspended, with the curator investigating whether certain activities can be continued or transferred to a third party.
Existing sales agency or distributorship agreements have also been suspended, unless specifically confirmed by the trustee. MPS is distributed in A/NZ by Nekkorb Solutions.
Filing A Claim
The company has issued a statement on its website, saying deposits paid before the bankruptcy will not be refunded, and that those that have paid a deposit before the bankruptcy can file a claim as an unsecured creditor in the insolvency.
It also confirmed that orders for spare parts, tooling, or consumables can still be placed, and that the technical remote support hotline remains operational. The MPS Connect portal is also operational and data is refreshed as per usual.
Field service engineers are available for maintenance but confirmation of the work can only be given after the approval of the trustee.
For machine failures, MPS said, “Please feed your questions through the regular channels and the MPS team will look at the possibilities”.
The statement also mentioned the trustee is in discussions with several interested parties, adding that “The trustee aims for a going concern sale of all MPS activities and assets to another party, after which the company will most likely be liquidated at the end of the bankruptcy proceedings”.
