Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the restart executed through a Management Buy-Out (MBO)?

Who are Richard Miedema, Michiel Borst, and Bert van den Brink, and what roles will they have going forward?

What does the restart mean for me as a customer?
-
You can expect continued access to machines, parts, service, and technical support.
Our goal is to ensure your production remains stable and that you experience as little disruption as possible. We understand that recent events may have created uncertainty, and we are committed to restoring confidence through consistent and reliable service.
Will my existing orders still be delivered?
-
In most cases, yes. However, in some cases there may be adjustments required. MPS printing will contact you directly if any adjustments are required.
What happens to payments I made before the bankruptcy?
-
Payments made before the bankruptcy fall under the legal bankruptcy procedure and are handled by the court-appointed trustee: curator@stellicher.nl
We understand the difficulty this may cause and are committed to supporting you with clear communication and documentation during this process.
The restarted company can only process payments and obligations related to orders placed after the restart.
Will outstanding invoices from before the bankruptcy be paid?
-
Invoices dated before the bankruptcy fall under the legal bankruptcy procedure and are handled by the appointed trustee.
The company operating after the restart is a new legal entity and can only pay for goods and services delivered after the restart.
Stakeholders with questions can contact the trustee for formal updates: curator@stellicher.nl.
Will previously agreed pricing or terms change?
-
Wherever possible, we aim to honor previously agreed terms.
If specific contractual elements are affected by the bankruptcy process, your sales representative will discuss options with you openly and transparently.
Are ongoing service agreements still valid?
- We will contact each customer individually to confirm the status of service contracts and provide clarity on coverage, scheduling, and pricing.
Will there be delays in service or spare parts?
-
Our priority is to maintain continuity and minimize downtime for your operations.
While the restart phase may involve brief adjustments, we are strengthening our logistics and service capacity to deliver faster and more consistently moving forward.
How does MPS Printing address customers who experienced financial loss?
-
We recognize that some customers may have been financially affected by the bankruptcy.
Although the legal framework limits what the new entity can compensate, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your continued engagement.
Our commitment is to rebuild your trust by being transparent, reliable, and responsive in all future interactions.
Will the product portfolio or technology offering change?
-
No changes are expected.
