Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®) will relocate its Sydney, Australia-based laboratory from Rosebery to Seven Hills in the coming months, moving closer to New South Wales manufacturers that have moved further west of Sydney’s Central Business District.
The laboratory relocation, which is in line with GLI Australia’s long-term expansion program, will provide the majority of New South Wales manufacturers and other clients easier and faster access to GLI’s laboratory, services and personnel. In addition, the new space will afford a 30 percent increase in engineering staff as well as a 25 percent increase in laboratory floor space. With an increasing demand for GLI’s testing, certification and professional services, GLI Australia is adapting in order to ensure all customers’ needs are met.
GLI Australia’s Chief Operating Officer APAC Espee de Robillard said, “This is a very exciting time for GLI, and especially for GLI in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Expanding our offices, employing more staff and investing in the gaming industry means we can accept a greater workload from across the region, truly support our regional offices in Macau and the Philippines, and maintain the expectations and trust of our customers.
“In today’s world of technology and future vision, we see our customers challenging the realms of the possible, and this is an area where GLI, as a global professional services deliver organization, is building its knowledge base, expertise/specialist services, and this requires increased infrastructure. We are truly excited,” he said.
GLI has been operating in Australia for more than 20 years and serves regulatory clients and customers throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Western Pacific. GLI’s three Australia-based labs, known collectively as GLI Australia, began expanding in June 2014 by increasing staff members at all three locations. With the combination of locations and continued growth, GLI is now the largest service provider of its kind in the region.
