We are a major force in the UK vending market and maintain a substantial presence in other European countries. Founded in 1976 we were instrumental in developing the European market for snacks and confectionery merchandisers.

It is estimated that the majority of the snack and confectionery machine park in the UK has been supplied by us either directly to major accounts or via other vending wholesalers and operators. In mainland Europe the company's business is mostly conducted through distributors. Apart from supplying equipment, we are heavily involved in providing 'own label' snacks machines built to the specification of other well-known vending companies including 24 Seven, Four Square Drinks, Bunzl Vending Services, Provend Services and Kenco.

For many years our machines have been produced for the specific use of major international snack food companies including Mars, Procter & Gamble, Nestle, Kraft Jacobs Suchard and Pepsico Snackfoods. In recent years we have expanded our activities into related areas such as ice cream, frozen food, and soft drinks vending.

Innovation has played a key role in our growth, which has led to the development of new vending markets for products as diverse as videos, swimwear and computer supplies. Utilising a unique robotic merchandiser the company is actively involved in establishing vending programmes for ice cream companies owned by, among others, Unilever and Nestle.

The recent launch of our glassfront bottle and can vendors bring a new dimension to soft drinks vending.

Vending is now claimed to be the fastest growing retail channel in the U.K. Our combination of equipment, experience and expertise attracts brand managers from many sectors looking for new routes to market. The company is keen to evaluate other equipment or systems complementary to its existing range and applicable to its U.K. or mainland European markets.
