Sheffield-based Synectics to receive boost from new casino resort project in Asia
The Sheffield-based company and its long-standing integration partner, Empire Automation, were awarded a contract in December 2022 to provide the surveillance system for Solaire Metro North, a large new-build casino resort in the Philippines, which had been expected to be operational in late 2023.
Developed by Bloomberg Resorts, the resort was originally due to open in 2021, however the Covid-19 pandemic caused delays and challenges to the construction process, and it is now expected to open in early 2024.

This has been completed and the company has now received further purchase orders bringing the value of the project to approximately $3m. It is expected that this will be delivered in the fourth quarter of the company's financial year ended 30 November 2023.”
Paul Webb, Chief Executive of Synectics, commented: "While casino operations in the region have now largely returned to normal, expected projects across the sector are still experiencing delays. It is heartening that this project is now proceeding, albeit later than previously expected."
