Mark Andy UK, which was established in 1993, was the group's first international sales and service location outside the US, recording more than 300 sales to the UK and parts of Europe in that time.
Opened to visitors at the end of last month, the manufacturer's newly-updated showroom features two Mark Andy Performance Series machines – a P3 250mm and a P7 430mm printer.
The facility is also home to a Rotoflex VSI 330 high-speed inspection, slitting and rewinding machine.
Mark Andy is pitching the showroom and service centre as a "key location for converters" to investigate the manufacturer's latest technology.
Mark Andy international sales director Mike Russell said: "The UK showroom is an exciting opportunity for leading converters to experience our award winning equipment in action.
"The technologies we are able to demonstrate on-site, as well as the capable support staff, make it an ideal showplace for visitors from around the world."
Last month, Prima Tapes and Labels invested in its fourth Mark Andy 2200XL flexographic six-colour press after reaching capacity on its existing machines.

"Sorry to read this, a big name to go down, hopefully a lot of the £1.8M was insured. We are recruiting operational staff & currently in-talks to assist the clients with immediate requirements."

"Now black really is white. Ditching a product line with all its consequences for customers is now an award winning move. Priceless!"
