ITEC Opens European Office
ITEC Entertainment Corporation, based in Orlando, Florida, opened a European office in
Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
“With the demand for ITEC’s products and services in Europe continuing to grow,
we determined it was the appropriate time to establish an office there to meet that
demand,” explains ITEC principal Bill Coan. “At the same time, having a
permanent presence in that part of the world allows us to better serve our current
European client base and benefit from our growing network of industry contacts.”
Themed entertainment veteran Hans Deuze has been appointed general manager of the office.
The combined project credits between ITEC and Deuze include some of Europe’s most
celebrated attractions, including Disneyland Paris, The St. Michael Mystery in Prague,
Hummel Village in Bavaria, and The Metropolitan Club in Warsaw.
ITEC specializes in the master planning, conceptual design, development and delivery of
entertainment, recreation, leisure, dining and retail projects worldwide — from
themed shopping and restaurants to entire theme parks and attractions.
