Company news, trade fair dates and the occasional thing we are simply proud of. We post when there is something to say, not on a content calendar.
Up next: open house at the Aschaffenburg factory,
14–15 October 2026 — machine demos, the machining hall, and the canteen's Thursday schnitzel on a Wednesday and Thursday. Registration via
opentag@moreprinter.com.
2026
| Date | News |
|---|
| Sept 14, 2026 | New MP-4500 options announced. Cycle start modules at every operator station and the flood speed display are now factory options, retrofittable to machines back to 1994. Developed after the usual honest reason: two customers asked within a month, and our engineers couldn't construct an argument against either. Details on the MP-4500 page. |
| June 2, 2026 | FESPA Amsterdam recap. 410 conversations at the booth (we counted; Sabine counts everything), 62 sample parts argued over, and one MP-4500 quote request that arrived as a handwritten fax. The fax machine stays in the entrance hall another year. |
| March 2026 | FESPA Global Print Expo, Amsterdam — Hall 2, C-41. We brought the MP-4500 with the high-speed indexer and answered registration-tolerance questions until the hall lights went out. |
| Jan 19, 2026 | Apprentice intake: four new machinists. Our largest group yet, trained in the second-building machining hall. Two of last year's apprentices are now building MP-4500 bases, which the 1978 generation assures them is harder than it looks. |
2025
| Date | News |
|---|
| Nov 10, 2025 | Service team grows to nine technicians. Fourth hire this year, based in Aschaffenburg with Portuguese and Spanish language coverage for the Iberian customers. Average hotline pick-up time for the year: 41 seconds. Sabine's target is under a minute; we beat it, she declined to celebrate. |
| May 2025 | FESPA Global Print Expo, Berlin — Hall 3.2, B-17. The TC-12 in twelve-station configuration drew the biggest crowd of the three days; Serigrafia Douro's 2011 order remains our favourite story, and their owner will confirm it to anyone who asks. |
| Feb 3, 2025 | ISO 9001:2015 recertification passed with zero nonconformities, TÜV audit. Certificate DE-9987-QM renewed. The auditor's one remark: our documentation binder was "suspiciously tidy", which we have decided to take as a compliment. |
2024
| Date | News |
|---|
| Oct 12, 2024 | Open house, 12–13 October 2024. 270 visitors, 38 factory tours, one forklift nearly retired by the third generation (he is fine, the racking took the hit, the safety officer was right and knows it). We do this every second October. |
| May 2024 | drupa, Düsseldorf — our first drupa since the world paused. Hall 4, stand A-22, with the MP-4500 and the then-new MP-1200 sharing one print head platform, which drew as many engineering questions as sales ones. |
| Jan 22, 2024 | MP-1200 update: shared print head with the MP-4500. From serial number 1200-447 onward, the semi-automatic uses the identical print head and squeegee holders. One set of spares, one training path, and MP-1200 customers keep their upgrade credit when they trade up — about 40% do within four years, and we plan for it. |

Come by, bring a sample part, and argue tolerances with our engineers. They enjoy it, worryingly. If your German is better than our English, the booth staff switch without complaint; if your Portuguese is better than both, Tiago from Porto usually finds us anyway.
