Belgian
playing cards manufacturer is exclusive supplier of the official Skyfall
playing cards and chips!
Cartamundi, the worldwide market
leader in the manufacture and sale of playing cards, will feature as the
exclusive supplier of playing cards and poker chips used in the twenty
third James Bond instalment SKYFALL.
In SKYFALL, Bond's loyalty to M
is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under
attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how
personal the cost.
Cartamundi has had a successful
James Bond licence for 10 years and also supplied the cards and poker
chips for the Bond film CASINO ROYALE. Chief Sales Coördinator, Bert Van
Pelt, explains “We are proud that as a Belgian company, Cartamundi is
able to contribute to the success of the world-famous Bond films. We
hope the publicity generated by the new James Bond film will raise the
profile of both Cartamundi, and the playing card game in general. Poker
is still a hype throughout the world, so we are convinced that this
trend can only be stimulated further by the new Bond film SKYFALL.
Cartamundi will launch an
exclusive range of SKYFALL playing cards and poker sets onto the market
in September. More information on this new range will follow shortly.
In this 50th anniversary year of
the James bond movies, Cartamundi has already launched a collection of
very nice anniversary card products.
