On a recent trip by the Australian Ambassador to the<br />

the North American market.<br />
Executives and Staff of Ainsworth Game Technology<br />
were buzzing with excitement last week as Joe<br />
Hockey conducted a tour of the new Ainsworth North<br />
American Headquarters.<br />

late 2016 to which local, state and federal American<br />
officials along with Ainsworth executives including<br />
Executive Director Len Ainsworth, CEO Danny<br />
Gladstone, President-North America Mike Dreitzer and<br />
President-Latin America Miguel Cuadros attended the<br />
ribbon-cutting ceremony.<br />
Located along the 215 Beltway near South Jones<br />
Boulevard in the valley’s emerging gaming-technology<br />
corridor, the $40M 291,000-square-foot facility —<br />

During his visit to Ainsworth, Joe praised the success<br />
as an example of how investment leads to growth. In<br />
the past year, the North American team has grown<br />
exponentially.
