US-based Pipeline Games has completed a merger with Pentavision Entertainment. The combined properties of the newly merged company, Pentavision Global, will offer in-house product development and strategic licensing of coin-op amusement games.
James Ko, previously CEO and founder of Pipeline Games, will serve as president, and Dave Peckels will continue to serve as the company’s vice president of sales. The new company headquarters will be in Gardena, California, and will also have R&D, assembly lines and other operations in South Korea.
"This alliance is a major strategic step for both parties and is another illustration of our drive to extend our presence in the amusement games and entertainment sector. The two firms are hoping that their different strengths will combine to form a business which is powerful on every gaming platform and in every territory," said Ko.
