The recent ENADA show in Rimini allowed Gauselmann cash handling arm GeWeTe to further strengthen its presence in the Italian market.

Despite a reported drop in exhibitors, operators were still present in numbers, visiting a GeWeTe stand that represents the only non-Italian redemption and change machine manufacturer to have successfully established itself in Italy.

“Competition is extremely strong in Italy,” explained Aristidis Tsikouras, managing director of GeWeTe. “Yet those who believe that price is the driving factor have often learnt to make more critical comparisons and make their calculations and evaluations based on the long-term and not the short-term. I firmly believe we offer the best value for money in the long run.”

The firm is also able to support its clients more directly due to them having a dedicated office in Italy headed up by Salvatore Caserta.

Successful products from the company include the Cash-Recycler, which is designed to address redemption and change requirements for operators who offer VLT gaming or VLT and AWP gaming together. The unit offers a secure housing, fitted with reliable components to enable a host of features, including bulk coin feed, cup dispensing, banknote recycling and TITO capabilities.

GeWeTe change and redemption machines can be connected with Italian gaming providers, providing a boon to integration.

“We cover all bases with the Cash-Recycler and have a strong and focused local team to support our customers in Italy,” said Tsikouras. “We had many excellent conversations on our stand and were very pleased with the quality of the show. The Italian market is very important to us and we place great emphasis on supporting our customers here – that is something we have proven for several years now.”
