The opening of a new branch office in Madrid heralds a fresh era for Spain’s coin machine market as Germany’s Gauselmann Group expands its Spanish business through its subsidiary Merkur Dosniha.
The new office will help usher in a fresh campaign on the Spanish bars market, said Dosniha CEO Carlos Chacón. The new headquarters for the Spanish capital are located in Alcorcón, in the south of the city, where a team of five will host a sales and service centre.
Chacón said: “It will enable us to greatly improve the service we can offer on a local level to our customers in the area, and we can provide technical back-up and training from there.”
Three hundred guests, made up of staff, customers and friends of the company, plus a team of 10 flying in from Gauselmann headquarters in North Rhine Westfalia, Germany, attended the opening of the new Madrid office on Thursday, May 12.
The German delegation was led by two main board directors, Jürgen Stühmeyer and Werner Schröer, who were accompanied by Aristidis Tsikouras, CEO of another Gauselmann subsidiary, money processing specialists GeWeTe.
Merkur Dosniha represents the Gauselmann AWP product line in Germany, as well as GeWeTe and the multi-player automated table games of InterBlock.
