1953, Kurt Rehmus, from century-old German printing equipment manufacturer KBA, founded the SPS company in Germany, with his mastery mechanical knowledge, researched for developing screen printing machine adopting the principle that “a cylinder base to carry sheet substrate rolling over flat screen stencil thereby accomplishing printing” (later renowned as “Original SPS STOP Cylinder Principle”), for rising demands of screen printing applications.

1957, first “SPS High Speed Automatic STOP Cylinder Screen Printing Press” was launched, which instantly led the tide of wide applications on various screen printing processes, the products’ “high speed, precision, reliability, ease in operation, function handiness, fast setup” etc. technical advantages, captured firm supports from royal users in later decades, and gained technology leadership:

Since then SPS brand stands for:

2012, viewing the booming growth of screen printing industries in Asia, SPS approached ATMA for cooperation: letting ATMA undertake all manufacturing and development of SPS products. This “alliance of strengths” combines SPS ‘s German mechanical advantages and ATMA ’s automatic mass-production ability, a perfect merge of strengths and powers.

2012, SPS products were imported into ATMA for development and manufacturing.

2013, first SPS product completely made by ATMA was launched, featuring superior quality and cost-effectiveness under standardized production that refreshes radiant competiveness.

2016, full series of SPS Press were developed, at same time development of all new generation of fully digital controlled SPS model was initiated by ATMA, turning into a new leaf.

2017, ATMA moved into spacious headquarter in Hwa Ya Technology Park, started development of SPS Dryer and other customized automatic line developments for leading industries.
