„The main role of EGT Steel Production is also to provide more flexibility to the highly efficient R&D department of Euro Games Technology so that all new slot models, developed by it, to be made and tested in-house before their mass production commences,” explained Mr. Georgiev. “As a CEO I am also ambitious to attract more external international clients and to offer them a wide variety of products made of steel. EGT Steel Production will be competitive on a global scale.“

According to Mr. Georgiev, apart from the negative effects, the current crisis due to COVID-19 opens up an opportunity for EGT Steel Production: “Our company is closely connected with the casino industry and the current decrease in our work volume creates some financial issues, but it is also a fact that this is the perfect moment to carry out all planned refurbishments and organization improvements in a most effective way. As a result we will optimize the costs for the cabinets’ production, will increase our resilience when launching new models, will shorten the production deadlines, will improve our communication and work efficiency and all that will positively affect the quality of EGT’s final products. We are also able to concentrate on internal projects for optimization of the assembly lines at the main plant of Euro Games Technology for which we are currently preparing some special appliances and components.”

The final goal of the company is to diversify the portfolio of Euro Games Technology with even more services and metal goods for the international market. Its ambition is also to rank among the best in its sector. This is what Mr. Georgiev also wishes for himself as a CEO – to lead a team that is among the top professionals in its field of competence.
