Paul Gauselmann
Paul Gauselmann is the driving force behind MERKUR. Born in 1934, he started out as a telecommunications mechanic, but his curiosity for gaming machines sparked a lifelong passion. In 1957, what began as a small side hustle installing jukeboxes evolved into a global powerhouse that now employs roughly 15,000 people. Paul Gauselmann remained a key figure and spokesperson for the MERKUR board right up until his 90th birthday.
