JPM Roars into 2004

JPM Roars into 2004

JPM has announced it will be exhibiting at ATEI 2004 and has said all of its new products will be available for view on Stand 1100. The company said it looks forward to welcoming visitors to view these and talk to its sales and marketing staff about JPM's future plans.

Birmingham based JPM is one of the only independent AWP and SWP manufacturers left in the UK. With a deliberate policy of innovation and value for money JPM often leads the way in the development of new concepts for games and technology.

Manufacturing is based in Cardiff where a dual production facility also manufactures products for SEGA Amusements Europe. This dual line allows for full flexibility to take account of peak demand and the differing needs of the industry.

During 2003 JPM has taken full advantage of the expanding East European markets with its partner Synot. JPM's popular titles such as Daytona Gold and Jokers Gold have made them the No 1 exporter to the region that now includes Czech Republic, Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland. 2004 will see more games developed plus the addition of Casino titles for these exciting and dynamic markets.

2004 also sees the re-entry of JPM into the Low Tech market with the introduction of Kerching and BIG X. Kerching is already selling soundly and looks set to be one of the most successful Low Tech of 2004.

New partnerships are always key to a vibrant market and JPM have been foremost in developing these. 2004 sees the introduction of Nexus, a joint development in co-operation with Maygay.

Another exciting and groundbreaking partnership is with R Franco of Spain. The companies have signed a reciprocal manufacturing and distribution deal that will see R Franco manufacturing and distributing JPM products under the Crystal brand in Spain through R Arenas (an R Franco company.)

JPM will have similar rights plus the agreement to distribute R Franco Casino products into the potentially lucrative UK market once legislation has been finalised. Through JPM's established European and East European distribution network JPM and R Franco products will have an efficient route to market that offers benefits to both companies and their customers.

The first game under the new JPM/Franco/Crystal banner will be shown at ATEI 2004.

New products are always key to success and need to be mounted in a cabinet that draws attention and provides a pleasant platform for players to enjoy the game. Linear is the most innovative cabinet by any manufacturer in years and incorporates the latest technology and far reaching ideas to produce a flexible games platform for many environments.
