Sound Down, Design Up with MPS!

contract office marketing

Making Privacy Simple has pioneered the pairing of acoustic paneling and white noise, also known as the ABC’s of sound masking. (That’s Absorb, Block + Cover if you’re new to the game!)  Since their voyage to a new manufacturing facility last year, their product offering has grown exponentially with new designs, expanded color offerings, and incredible manufacturing times!

Custom acoustic solutions by MPS can reshape and bring any type of workspace to life.  MPS Acoustic Panels are the energy that inspires, improving the aesthetic environment while providing significant sound absorbing benefits.

Every one of the dozens of custom and standard shapes and designs of MPS panels can dampen and diffuse mid- to high-frequency sound waves, helping to reduce distracting noise, echo and reverb, and enhance acoustic privacy.

MPS Acoustic Panels provide beautiful, colorful, versatile separation and space design.  These panels are easily disinfected, eco-friendly, and tackable.  Applications range from desk dividers to room dividers, ceiling baffles on any ceiling type, or applied wall or desk space where color, energy, and visual and acoustic privacy will make a difference.

Here are a few of our favorites!

Artopex + LaserTec Technology

contract office marketing

Artopex is proud to announce the introduction of LaserTec technology.  This innovative technology merges the edgebanding with the surface to leave no visible seams.  Not only does this new process enhance the aesthetics of the design, it eliminates the risk of liquid infiltration and increases durability.

 

This is the last phase of the Artopex factory transformation that began in 2016.  The project to robotize and automate production lines has modernized and improvedn upon the company’s manufacturing capabilities and flexibility.

Additionally, laser edge banding is better for the environment and reflects Artopex’s commitment to the sustainability. One of the main chemicals used by Artopex is solvent.  For many years, production units have had the goal of optimizing solvent use in order to reduce their consumption.  Since 2010, an important decrease in use was observed despite an increase in production.  This improvement is due in part to the integration of new equipment and awareness measures.

With the integration of laser edge banding, solvent use will continue to decrease.  It will notably eliminate the use of glue when installing edge banding and therefore the use of solvent.

LazerTech technology utilizes an ABS edge banding attached via laser.  Not only does this reduce the amount of solvent used by Artopex, but it also reduces polyvinyl chloride (PVC) consumption.  PVC has been the subject of many debaites in the community, notably due to its impact on health and the environment.

We are proud of Artopex’s investment into not only manufacturing, but our environment!

Lazer Edgebanding will be gradually introduced to all Artopex Collections beginning with Receptions and TakeOff Conference.
