The word of the founders


THE USA
"Once upon a time ... our adventure started in August 2005, when we visited the US, we went through Las Vegas where, at the turn of an industrial zone, we meet the Endy family, a worthy heir to the "Paulson" know-how, Mike Endy, nephew of Paul Endy (creator of the Paulson empire), owner of the "blue chip Company", receives us in his office.

Following this fruitful interview, the pockets filled with samples (casino of isthmus, Las Vegas ...), we leave with the promise of a possible collaboration.

Back in France, playing on our foldable tables "made in Mr Bricolo", the urgent desire to satiate our "luxury tastes", we knew that our next step would inevitably lead us to the middle empire !!

THE CHINA
Indeed, following the complaints made by Dave Endy about his Asian "competitors"; with "fierce insight", we left in January 2006 for a week and a half in Shanghai, foaming Zhejiang Province.

Accompanied by our collaborator, Ke Yang, we visited 11 manufacturers.

Our goals were:

  • Study the process of making a poker chip.
  • Visit the factories and tools used.
  • Understand the commercial and industrial culture of our future employees.
  • Appreciate the ranges and qualities of the products on offer.

    12 days later, with our experience, we return to France, adding our second stone to the "knowledge building" of the poker chip! More seriously, this trip has allowed us to meet human, professional, essential to the construction and credibility of our project.

    UNITED KINGDOM
    February 2006, after the cold and sunny cold of the Chinese countryside, we are now in UK. Once again, driven by our quest for "poker chips" and the opportunity to meet Andrea Green, we fly to Cavendish Square London.

    Who is Andrea Green?

    Residing in Los Angeles, and visiting London for the WPT magazine launch, we had the pleasure of being invited to the party organized for the launch of the World Poker Tour UK Edition Magazine.

    Eric and I were seduced by the WPT product line:

    • First, we felt a very professional marketing and sales policy.
    • Secondly, the products are qualitative: Tokens, briefcases, table top, UK magazine, Public Relation, choice of licensed suppliers, channel + TV show. For many fans, the World Poker Tour is a reference and we wanted to take the means to be the first importers in France. Bet won!
