Cristaltec s.p.a. is an Italian company that designs, manufactures, and supplies high‑end gaming cabinets, PCB boards, and turnkey gaming solutions. Founded in 2004 by Giovanni Agliata, the company has grown into a leading force in the Italian AWP (Amusement with Prize) market—a position it has held since 2008. Cristaltec’s core business is the production of custom gaming hardware and the development of immersive game software, serving land‑based, VLT, and online channels. Beyond Italy, the company supplies B1/B2 machines and games to the Spanish market and has recently expanded into online gaming, offering its own game server infrastructure and acting as a game provider. The company’s portfolio spans high‑quality cabinets, PCB solutions, and a growing library of games adapted for different regulatory environments. Cristaltec is led by its founder who also serves as President of the Manufacturers Section within AS.TRO (Assotrattenimento), the Italian trade association for the gaming sector. With a commitment to continuous innovation and transparent business practices, Cristaltec positions itself as a reliable partner for operators and regulators alike.
Detailed Review
Cristaltec is a vertically integrated gaming supplier that combines hardware engineering, software development, and assembly under one roof. The company’s manufacturing capabilities allow it to produce high‑end cabinets with precise quality control, while its in‑house PCB division delivers motherboard and electronic board solutions tailored to gaming applications. Cristaltec’s game development studio creates content for multiple verticals: AWP games for the Italian market, B1/B2 machines for Spain, VLTs, and online casino titles. The online offering is the most recent addition, built on a proprietary game server infrastructure that allows Cristaltec to operate as a B2B provider of remote game servers. The company has demonstrated longevity and market leadership, having dominated the Italian AWP segment for over a decade. Its emphasis on player experience and regulatory compliance is underscored by Giovanni Agliata’s active role in AS.TRO, where he leads the manufacturers’ section and contributes to technical standards. Cristaltec’s product range includes a historic multigame platform called GameCristal (first released in 2002) as well as contemporary cabinets and game software. The company’s customer base spans Italian, Spanish, and international operators. While specific headcount is not publicly disclosed, the company’s operational scope suggests a mid‑sized enterprise with specialised engineering, production, and support teams. Cristaltec’s commitment to transparency is reflected in its published Company Policy, which emphasises trust, professional growth, and a collaborative workplace.
