| 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.
