The 20th anniversary of Gamesman, the UK-based gaming equipment components and systems manufacturer, will be celebrated during the G2E trade show in Las Vegas at the end of this month.
The company, now part of the Esterline Corporation, says sales director Martin Rigby, will keep it low key, but will mark the occasion with celebratory banners on the booth.
Formed in September 1996, Gamesman has seen its annual turnover grow to $55m. Said Rigby: “In the early days the focus was very much on the UK AWP market which then accounted for 90 per cent of Gamesman's sales revenue. While our home market is still very important the company is now a global force in gaming, looking after customers throughout the world, with a wholly owned factory in the Shenzen region of China and an office in Las Vegas.
"The contribution made by our parent company cannot be underestimated. In order to remain in pole position and stay ahead of the market, our strategy is to leverage the assets of our Esterline Partners, notably the touchscreen division. Esterline's influence has helped make us more efficient across the board and there's no doubt that we go to G2E 2016 as a robust business and with the strong financial backing of our parent company.”
