Money Controls Appoints New Distributors

Money Controls, manufacturer of components for secure money systems, has announced the appointment of two new distributors, Biakom and Nowopol, as demand for products increases within the Eastern European gaming market. Biakom Ltd., a fast-growing private company specialising in the distribution of electronic components, will focus on the Ukraine. The Kiev-based company already has a range of blue chip partners in its portfolio, including Advantech and Panasonic, and deals with deliveries of components from manufacturers such as Samsung and Toshiba. Ilya Bosy, Biakom's Commercial Director, said, "We are pleased to join Money Controls in developing the Eastern European market which has so much potential for the company's premium gaming products. Our aim is to build upon the market-leading position which Money Controls has already established and continue to expand its client base, beating the competition both in terms of product and customer service." Nowopol Ltd. will concentrate on the Polish market, using its expertise gained as one of the country's biggest importers, distributors and exporters of AWP gaming machines. Nowopol has a wealth of contacts throughout Lithuania, The Netherlands, Latvia, the Ukraine and Russia, and has established partnerships with many European-based companies, including one of the UK's larger AWP manufacturers, Astra Games.

Robert Ziolkowski, Nowopol's Marketing Director, said, "I am glad to have formed an alliance with such an honourable business partner in Great Britain. I am convinced that with Money Controls' range of products we will open a new chapter in the Polish gaming trade by enabling access to the latest technologies, whilst providing high quality service. The road to success is open and we at Nowopol aim to make this road as short as possible." As Money Controls' partners within Eastern Europe, Biakom and Nowopol will initially concentrate on the distribution of gaming products, including: the SR5i coin acceptor with remote capability; the Ardac 5 note/bill and barcoded ticket/coupon acceptor; the Condor Plus coin and token acceptor; Money Controls' comprehensive range of hoppers including Compact Hopper, Universal and Gamesman; the Paycheck Coinless Printer of payout tickets and coupons; and the comprehensive range of support tools including those for the open standard ccTalk serial communication protocol for the secure transfer of credit and status information.

As the market expands Money Controls aims to increase product sales in other markets for automated transaction solutions, meeting requirements for all types of payment systems in the gaming, amusement, leisure and specialist vending markets. John Carroll, Money Controls' European Sales Director, said, "Biakom has been a well-respected name in the marketplace for several years and has gained extensive knowledge of the industry. The company is very positive about our partnership and sees a bright future for Money Controls' gaming products in the Ukraine. Nowopol is also well established in the marketplace and has some excellent contacts in Poland. Its employees have extensive technical knowledge and are very competent in our products. By teaming up with Nowopol we see ourselves as being extremely well-positioned to offer high quality products and excellent service in order to expand and rapidly grow our customer base within the Polish gaming field. Awareness of Money Controls' products and services is gaining increasing interest within Eastern Europe. This is especially pleasing as the market there is progressive and highly competitive, therefore we are delighted to have two such reputable and capable partners on board to further our developments in this region."
