Everest Ice and Water Systems has partnered with Dallas-based vending machine manufacturer, SandenVendo America. SandenVendo America produces and distributes world-class convenience equipment to serve consumers-on-the-go. With this new partnership, SandenVendo America will now offer their customers a uniquely designed ice and water vending machine using Everest’s patented dispensing technology.
“We've been researching ice vending for a number of years, but we were never really impressed with the technology out there. However when we found Everest, we were blown away by the design,” said Mike Weisser, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at SandenVendo America.
“The issue with most ice vending machines is the maintenance. Ice jams are common to these machines. Everest however has designed a machine that eliminates that issue.”
With Everest’s VersaVend dispensing system, ice is agitated and dispensed in one single step using gravity rather than mechanical beaters and augers. This patented design eliminates the need for multiple moving parts within the machine since ice is moved and dispensed to the customer with one rotating barrel. Everest’s patented design currently operates in three continents right now, but through this partnership, Everest seeks greater market share in North America.
“In 2017, we are focused on distribution sales in North America,“ states Ben Gaskill, National Director of Sales at Everest. “SandenVendo America will be instrumental in our growth domestically. It is a perfect partnership because SandenVendo is an innovative, industry leader in the vending space.”
To debut the partnership, SandenVendo America will be exhibiting the Everest Ice and Water vending machine at the NAMA One Show in Las Vegas from April 19 - April 22.
