Out of the ashes that have left many other companies burnt , MPE has not only managed to increase production , they have also launched a new and improved machine , the i-3 .
John Hodgkiss , chief designer , had this to say about the latest design “ The i-3 has been developed on the back of feedback from our customers . We believe it is important to listen to what our clients have to say and incorporate that into our designs . We are constantly striving to improve our machines . We want to be the best in the business . When people think heat sealing , we want them to think MPE . This machine is bigger , faster and has a higher rate of throughput than anything we have produced before ”.
Indeed , MPE may well be the dark horse of the heat-sealing trade . Back in 2015 when the i-3 ’ s grandparent , the i-1 was introduced , it created a ripple across the industry with its new style interface and innovative design . The i-3 has built on these good foundations , complete with innovative engineering that meets customer demands . MPE ’ s i-3 is definitely one to watch .
