International expansion of the European market leadership

“We have found an excellent partner in NSM Music, who has vast market expertise and great sales competency in countries that are for us of enormous strategic importance. We can thus continue to strengthen our international presence and successfully expand the market leadership for linked touchscreen game terminals in Europe,” declares Josef Öhlinger, CEO funworld ag.

Dr. Gurbakhash Sanghera, CEO of NSM Music, emphasises: “We are particularly pleased with being appointed exclusive distributor of PHOTO PLAY and Touch Toy in the UK and the USA. As the touchscreen game terminals offer a unique gaming experience, they will be groundbreaking on the American market above all and prove to be major sensations, as they have in Europe.”

Successful pioneers in the entertainment segment

NSM Music is a 100% subsidiary company of the British NSM Music Group. Since the group was established in Germany in 1951 it has been successfully producing and distributing jukeboxes. The company with its head office in Great Britain and two distribution offices in Chicago and Germany has made an international name for itself as an innovative leader for digital jukeboxes.

funworld ag is a longstanding expert and technological forerunner for connected game systems. The Austrian company is primarily known for the successful PHOTO PLAY brand. This is particularly distinguished in that it is the segment’s largest tournament system, which was developed by touchscreen innovator funworld and perfected via state-of-the-art features, such as online linking and the Multiplayer function.

Since the beginning of the last year funworld has repositioned itself as a multiple product company and launched the Touch Toy, BET-solutions and fun|select product brands under a modern umbrella brand concept. Touch Toy is an educational children’s terminal, top-selling trend products are offered under fun|select and funworld is now also a professional partner for sports betting technology via BET-solutions.

“The distribution partnership concluded between funworld and NSM Music represents two of the entertainment segment’s most important companies entering into a close cooperation, which will sustainably impact the entire international market. funworld's innovative products as well as its years of experience and competency guarantee both entertainment pioneers successful results from the collaboration,” says Öhlinger.
