Benchmark Games has announced that GameCastle, based in the Netherlands, will have exclusive distributorship of all its games in the Benelux region (covering Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg).
Family owned and operated by Peter and Lucienne Pujin, GameCastle has been in business 12 years working with amusement/entertainment products, jukeboxes, home rentals and repairs.
"Game Castle has achieved its current position in the market place due to the hard work and dedication of Peter and Lucienne Puijn," said Benchmark’s Frank Ballouz, head of international sales. "I have had the privilege to be associated and conduct business with the Puijn’s for some five years. It has been a sincere pleasure to work with such a fine organisation and a couple who form a very intelligent and enthusiastic team. Peter is a hands-on owner. I’ve seen him unloading and loading containers and delivering equipment to customers on a Friday evening."
In making the announcement, Al Kress said, "The experience as an operator and now a full-time, well established distributor in the Benelux region is exactly the type of company we want to be affiliated with in the international marketplace. We welcome Peter and Lucienne Puijn and Game Castle to the Benchmark family."
The Puijn’s have traveled the world attending various trade shows in search of the right products to fulfill the needs of customers. Recently, they were in attendance at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Florida.
In responding to the announcement, Peter Puijn commented that he and his company are looking forward to representing the exclusive distributorship of Benchmark Games in the Benelux region. "I feel that our experience and current knowledge of the industry and our area of Europe makes for a perfect partnership," said Puijn. "Game Castle is built on honesty, making sure we are there to service the customer and stand behind what we promise."
The Florida-based Benchmark Games is recognised as a leader in the amusement industry for its redemption games and related products. Some of the more recent games from Benchmark include The Trap Door, Monster Drop, Wheel-Deal X-Treme, Pop-It X-Treme, Slam-A-Winner X-Treme and many others.
