Corporate Philosophy

„To realize things which appear inconceivable, is what I am enjoying most!”
This principle of Josef Öhlinger (CEO of funworld ag), laid the foundation of the company in 1980, and is still the driver of funworld’s success. The openness for visions and the readiness to think "around corners" are as much part of the company philosophy as the capability of translating trains of thoughts into reality.

Corporate Vision

People play our games with enthusiasm. They connect people — at any place and any time.

More than 2 decades ago funworld entered into the commitment to enthuse players through intelligent and positive games.
With groundbreaking and high qualitative hard- and software solutions funworld has proven itself as a European leader in the touch-screen business. Furthermore the company has succeeded to build up the largest European touch-screen network, enabling funworld to operate a wide variety of international tournaments.

While the philosophy of funworld is still the same, the company will continue to amplify and adapt its product range to the fast changing market needs. That makes funworld to what it is today, a highly reputed and reliable partner in the electronic entertainment industry.

Locations

With the headquarter in Lenzing (Austria), affiliates in Wiesbaden (Germany) and Milan (Italy), and an international sales network, composed of committed general distributors and retailers, the company successfully recognizes and satisfies the needs of customers in more than 46 countries.
