Electrocoin founder and director John Stergides Snr has been recognised with an ICE Landmark Award at ICE Barcelona 2026, marking more than five decades of contribution to the international coin-op and amusement sector.
The Landmark Awards, presented annually at ICE, recognise individuals and organisations whose long-term impact has helped shape the global gambling and amusements industry.
Stergides was honoured in recognition of Electrocoin’s forthcoming 50th anniversary in 2026, reflecting both his personal career and the company’s enduring presence across the UK and European markets.
“It was a proud moment for us. I think my father really appreciated going up to collect the award and being recognised for his contribution,” said Electrocoin’s sales and marketing manager John A Stergides.
“It was a great honour to receive the award. I was at the first ICE in the 1990s and have attended every one since,” Stergides Snr said.
“The show is the greatest industry event in the world, and to be recognised on the international stage at this level is very special. I’m thrilled to have been a part of the ICE evolution from the very outset and I think the British industry should be proud of its role in having the vision to launch and create the foundations of the world’s landmark show.”
