Why choose an Italian vending machine manufacturer
Italy is Europe's second-largest vending market. Choosing a made-in-Italy manufacturer means: local support, warehouse spare parts, EU compliance (CE, food safety) and a single contact from design to after-sales.
Project Vending has manufactured in Ponte di Piave (Treviso) since 1985. Over 100,000 machines installed in 40+ countries. Enterprise clients include Mars, Ikea, Nestlé, Red Bull and Kellogg's.

Buying vending machines in the UK
Searches such as «vending machine for sale», «buy vending machine» and «vending machines UK» usually mean either a local operator or a factory supplier. Project Vending is the latter: we build machines in Italy and ship to the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe with CE documentation, factory support and configurable payment options (cashless, telemetry).
We do not operate a nationwide UK field service network like a domestic operator; installation and first-line maintenance are typically handled by your team or a local partner. Request a quote with destination, voltage requirements and product mix so pricing reflects your project, not a generic online listing.
«Smart vending machines» in search usually means telemetry, cashless and remote stock alerts — standard options on Project Vending lines rather than a separate gimmick product.
