Piatnik - We know how to play
Whoever talks about playing cards in Austria automatically means PIATNIK. The Viennese playing card manufacturer is a family company with a long tradition. It has come a long way from the founding of the traditional card playing shop to the modern printshop using the latest technology that is available today. Subsidiaries in the former provinces of the old Austrian empire, the loss of these factories after the Second World War and the renewed effort to build up international relations - all this is part of the 180 year history of PIATNIK. Throughout the 180 years, the Viennese playing card company has done its best to please its most discerning customers with state-of-the-art printing technology.
Today the name PIATNIK is known all over the world, also thanks to its subsidiaries in the USA, Germany, Hungary and the Czech Republic. The distribution of the exclusive product range of PIATNIK in more than 60 countries worldwide is organized through the head office. Nowadays PIATNIK is not just the manufacturer of about 20 million playing cards per year, PIATNIK also develops, manufactures and distributes an extensive range of games. This range includes traditional games for children, games for adults and the whole family and a whole range of puzzles in all sizes and degrees of difficulty. To give just one example, we would like to mention "Activity". This game which was developed by PIATNIK in 1990 has become a real sales hit in many countries.
