Abbiati CEO Giorgio Abbiati said of G2E
2012: “The main goal of this year was to attract as many new clients as possible from all Americas’ regions, especially from Central and South Americas. That goal was successfully reached as we did receive lots of valuable visits followed with a number of significant requests, which, we are positive, will turn into successful collaborations.” He explained that the Company finds this
international show an ideal place to present their products and services to the decision makers from many different areas and markets. Commercial Director Terry Clarke added: “G2E show is a great possibility to demonstrate how Abbiati products had continued to improve during the years, using new innovative materials, designs and applied technologies. Presenting our line of products to visitors, we’ve demonstrated once again our flexibility and ability to manufacture any customized equipment.”
During the show, the Italian manufacturer
underlined the high quality of their products along with the multiple security features which are used in the manufacturing process of Abbiati chips, plaques and jetons. “High-end products with a big variety of innovative security features have contributed to the acquisition of very important orders in the Asian market, where the Abbiati Company has had a very significant expansion during the last year,” said Giorgio Abbiati. “The confidence received from the clients was due to the security of the company and its innovative products.” Having received approval to supply chips,
plaques and jetons in Nevada last year, Abbiati applied and was approved as a supplier for Singapore casino operators for the same – and G2E gave Abbiati a chance to engage with more potential Asian customers, as Terry concludes: “The fast growing Asian market is one of the key areas for our company. We were glad to meet some of the Asian operators at the show, and we are working on orders for some at the moment.”
