FAS INTERNATIONAL SPA

Fas International SpA, founded in 1967, is an Italian company that leads the vending machine market and is one of the most important players in the European vending industry. Fas' production takes place exclusively in Italy, at Schio plant in the province of Vicenza, which employs 150 people and produces over 14,000 machines per year, exporting to 55 countries worldwide. Since 2023, Fas International has been a benefit corporation. It holds about 30 patents for inventions, including a patent from the mid-1980s for a flower vending machine, which became famous as the Flower Vendor. Fas International operates in two main business areas, both highly technological: the Professional area, with about thirty customizable vending machine models, and the Delivery Solutions area, which includes the Tritech line—shredders for non-recyclable dry waste—the Food24System line—an automated canteen service consisting of a software part that allows meal ordering or purchase via a device, and a hardware part that manages delivery to the customer using rotating dish vending machines—and the Retail line, which expands the product offering beyond the food sector. Fas International has always designed and manufactured its products with a strong focus on the environment, producing highly innovative and technologically advanced vending machines with low energy consumption: Fas is the only company in the vending sector to use CO2 technology across its entire cold product range. The company closed 2023 with a turnover of 53 million euros.
