Tamaresis holds a masters degree from an English university and has been involved with vending customers for many years. Mark Simmons, NRI’s Overseas Manager, commented, “The Greek vending market continues to grow in importance and with question marks on future possibilities, now is the right time to place our trust in Solutions & Options. Although this is a relatively new company, we have dealt with Yiannis over many years and he is well known and trusted in Greece”. Tamaresis said of the deal, “The working relationship with NRI is excellent. Now with customer and sales support in their own country, Greek customers have all the more reason to place their trust in NRI. I thank NRI for placing their trust in me.” Interbrands was formed in 1994 with specific focus on the cigarette vending market. Immediately the company was confronted with requirements for coin handling. After having carefully studied the market, Interbrands chose to specify only NRI products in its vending machines. During this time the relationship has continued to expand and Interbrands has gained much specific knowledge required for the successful representation of the NRI product range. Simmons explained the strategic importance of this appointment. “Although Malta is a relatively small island, the coin-op industry is growing in importance. We are very pleased that Malta will be joining the Euro next January and with the appointment of Interbrands as NRI distributor in Malta, the local coin-op industry has a local contact of expertise.” The Managing Director of Interbrands, Mr. Jean Claude Chetcuti, underlined, “We have many years of experience with NRI and thus are very pleased to offer our know-how to our local market. Maltese customers can be rest assured that we are well equipped for the Euro introduction.”
