Cartamundi Playing Cards: Our mission is in our name

Cartamundi, Latin for "cards for the world"

Chris Van Doorslaer CEO of the Cartamundi Group: "Our name reflects both a mission and an ambition: to be a world player in the niche market of playing cards. And that is a very wide area to cover  from retail and promotional playing cards, casino cards to cards for games and collectibles. To achieve this ambition, we have opted for a market driven strategy. We want to realise this strategy worldwide, in view of which we are building a global network in sales and production. Recent acquisitions, like ASS/Altenburg in Germany and GPS in the UK help us to realise this objective"

"Our customers are a central part of this strategy. We keep in close contact with the market through our sales network with own subsidiaries. The ever-changing demands in the marketplace are also transmitted to our in-house design and R&D department through our sales and marketing people"
