A remarkable milestone that proves the importance of collaboration in the development of the vending sector.
SandenVendo celebrated its 50-year membership with the BDV, the Federal Association of the German Vending Machine Industry.
As a founding member, SandenVendo holds the distinction of being the longest consecutively active member in the association's history.
The BDV membership is still very important to SandenVendo today because we value the exchange with colleagues, customers, and other members.
The association’s lobbying efforts are crucial for our industry: being part of BDV helps SandenVendo navigate legislative uncertainties and provides access to valuable training, expertise, and statistics.
SandenVendo’s business is thriving, while BDV is investing for the long term as industry forecasts are positive: there's untapped potential, particularly in automated retail because the vending industry is evolving beyond just coffee, with machines increasingly serving logistical roles.
Our partnership is focusing on making vending machines smarter and more attractive to customers, while exploring how vending machines can sell more proactively to meet rising customer expectations.
The 50th anniversary was celebrated by BDV Managing Director Dr. Aris Kaschefi who presented Yasushi Yoshida, CEO & Managing Director of SandenVendo GmbH and CEO of SandenVendo America Inc., with a certificate commemorating the 50th anniversary.
We look forward to continuing this partnership for the next 50 years!
