The Group is looking forward to continued growth of its product lines within the increasing demand of the global Parking, Retail, Gaming and Transportation markets. The Bill-to-Bill Banknote Recycler and MFL Banknote Validator product lines are proudly
designed and manufactured in Canada. Two product lines which have become industry standard and have set the bar high, especially when it comes to its reliability, performance and customer satisfaction.
“We have cut the ribbon, marking our latest milestone in carving a solid foundation for our business to ensure our customers have a strong partner they can count on” explains Sim Bielak, Executive VP & General Manager, Global Bill-to-Bill Product Line. “We would like to thank everyone who has attended the event, including our customers, suppliers and the entire SuzoHapp team. It was yet another significant milestone for our business, with many more to come”.
