Suzo-Happ to celebrate its 60th anniversary at ICE

The forthcoming ICE in February is set to be a memorable occasion for Suzo-Happ. The European part of Suzo-Happ (Suzo) was founded back in 1955 and the ICE will be a great opportunity for the company as a whole to celebrate this milestone.

The Suzo-Happ team invites visitors to come to the stand in the same position as last year to celebrate this 60^th anniversary at stand number #N4-110. There will be plenty to see here:

This will be the first ICE that Comesterogroup will be exhibiting as part of the Suzo-Happ family. The Italian expert for change machines and cash handling was brought into the Suzo-Happ Group in 2014. Both international and solutions specific to the Italian AWP market will be on display. Comesterogroup is also a household name for change machines and cash-in machines, with more then 10 different models with machines such as Rock and Swing offering unique benefits. These are joined by the PRO range, such as Jolly PRO and Dual Coin PRO. The electronic coin selection from Comesterogroup – the RM5 Evolution and RM5 HD – have an installed base of well over a million. These can be found in all applications, including the tailored version for the Italian market for the newslots, including the Suzo-Happ Flow hopper.

The ICE will also mark the first international exhibition for Suzo-Happ as exclusive global distributor for TransAct with the agreement having being extended to Europe as from 1^st January 2015. The Epic 950® printer from TransAct is the perfect solution for ticket-in, ticket-out (TITO) applications. Currently installed in over half a million slots in casinos throughout the world, its success stands out significantly in Europe. For example, the Italian VLT (video lottery terminal) market and the British FOBT (fixed-off betting terminal) market use TransAct printers exclusively. Operators are invited to see just how many benefits the Epicentral, the promotional software system can offer.

The extended Suzo-Happ product range will be on proud display. This includes the Bill-to-Bill bank note recycler that is the preferred choice in a whole range of applications around the world. Suzo-Happ is known as the ‘hopper and topper company’ and customers and all interested persons are invited to get to know just which of these products are best fit for their needs – such as the Cube, Flow and Evolution hoppers and the Xenon LED, Towerlight and Video Topper alongside a number of RBG lightstrips to brighten up any slot machine. Suzo-Happ offers more choice with its PRO brand which includes the VISION PRO, PRINTER PRO AND BILLIARD PRO. The wide range of pushbuttons, including the LCD pushbuttons, will be on display.

Special mention deserves the role Suzo-Happ is playing in increasing its vertical integration service. Suzo-Happ should not just be seen as a supplier of spare parts and components. Suzo-Happ offers more vertical integration possibilities – an example is the pushbutton panel that saves manufacturers having to integrate pushbuttons individually in their machines. This level of vertical integration has been extended to include contract manufacturing services. Manufacturers have the choice of how much manufacturing integration Suzo-Happ offers, from part-machine manufacturing to complete outsourcing of machine hardware requirements. This enables manufacturers to focus more on their value-add, in other words their software and their games

Naturally Suzo-Happ will be exhibiting the solutions of further key distribution partners, such as ELO, Innovative Technology, MEI and Assa.

Mr. Harald Wagemaker, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing of Gaming and Casino EMA, sends out a warm welcome to ICE visitors, stating, “We are in celebratory mood. Please come and toast the 60 years in business with us at ICE. And then take the opportunity to see just how much we can do for you. We look forward to seeing you at ICE”.
