Casino equipment supplier Angel Group has announced the construction of a manufacturing base in Macau dedicated to producing casino-specific playing cards.
The factory, which will cover 22,000 square meters with a total building area of 26,000 square meters, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.
According to a local media outlet, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new facility took place on Thursday at the Banyan Tree Macau Hotel. This investment represents a significant expansion for Angel Group, emphasizing the company’s focus on local production and consumption practices. It is expected to streamline the local supply chain for casino equipment.
Angel Group has been a key player in the casino equipment industry since it introduced the electronic cards distribution machine “Angel Eye” in Macau in 2003.
Yasushi Shigeta, Chairman and CEO of Angel Group, reflected on the company’s journey from its modest beginnings. Established in Macau in 2006 with just one employee focused on maintenance and repair, Angel Group has grown into a robust organization with over 50 employees across sales, administration, and IT departments. This expansion represents a major leap forward for the company.
Sio Chi Wai, President of the Macau Japan Chamber of Commerce, expressed enthusiasm for the investment, noting that the new factory will bring advanced technology and management expertise to Macau.
He highlighted that this development will not only benefit the casino industry but also contribute to the broader optimization and upgrading of Macau’s industrial structure.
