Following the acquisitions of last February and June, the Global Leisure Group announces its third large acquisition of the year. The Global Leisure Group, with brands like SPI Global Play, Sidijk, The Play Installation Company, and Playlife, now expands its portfolio by acquiring a group of companies including HPS Play Company in Dubai and HPEET LLC in Abu Dhabi.
HPS Play Company is specialized in bespoke Leisure & Adventure Solutions and is one of the leading companies when it comes to customized playgrounds and adventure spaces in the Middle East North African (MENA) region. With its headquarters in Dubai and a creative production facility in Abu Dhabi, HPS Play Company is able to deliver a diverse range of turn-key entertainment concepts for Amusement & Theme Parks, Shopping Malls, Adventure Parks, Zoos, Hotels & Resorts, Airports, and more.
Thomas Mitmannsgruber, CEO of HPS Play Company, is excited for the future now that his company joined forces with the group: ‘To stay strong in the future, we needed to look ahead. We see a lot of opportunities in the market for the coming years, but as a standalone company we were limited. By joining the group we have more capacity, access to financial solutions and a pile of new knowledge to draw from, which enables us to capitalize on far more opportunities that lie ahead’.
With a well-known international customer base that includes names like SeaWorld, Majid Al Futtaim, Atlantis the Palm, EMAAR, Mattel, IMG Worlds of Adventures, Landmark Leisure, Dubai Safari Park & Zoo, HPS Play Company shows its caliber to deliver high class adventure & entertainment developments of any scale.
Mikael Wettergren, CEO of the Global Leisure Group, explains that the acquisition is an important step for the group to reach its goal to be and become world’s leading organization in the Play & Leisure segment. ‘HPS Play Company is a very strong and independent company that has a profound knowledge of its local market and a wide network of partners and suppliers within that area. This new partnership is a stepping stone to reach our goal to “be global, act local” and provide our customers around the globe the best Leisure and Play solutions’.
With this new acquisition, the Global Leisure Group extends its portfolio of acquired companies to a number of eighteen and, for the first time, expands its facilities into the Middle East.
