Italian vending machine manufacturers: how to choose

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.

FAQ

Does Project Vending sell only in Italy?

No. We manufacture in Ponte di Piave and ship across Europe and beyond. Direct installation in Italy; trained partners abroad.

What is the minimum price?

From €790 for compact models (Eurosnacky/Selene). Maxima and custom configurations are priced higher.

Can I buy a vending machine for the UK?

Yes. We export to the UK from our Italian factory. Contact us for shipping, electrical specification and after-sales support options.

Do you sell used vending machines?

We focus on new machines with full warranty and spare-parts availability. For fleet buyers, compare total cost of ownership versus used imports.
