CORONA, Calif., July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC
Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in automated
retailing, micro-stores, custom vending machines and kiosks,
commented today on their line of healthy vending machines, a niche
that is one of the fastest growing sectors in the nation.
AVT is a leader in the design and manufacturing of healthy
vending systems, and has a product line that encompasses a wide
range of applications, including hot and/or cold vending,
touchscreen interactivity, media panels for advertising and
promotions, custom sound and light displays, graphics, cashless
payment systems, and wireless control and management of the
system.
One of AVT's customers, HUMAN Healthy Vending, was named the #1
Vending Franchise in North America
by Entrepreneur Magazine, as well as an Inc 500 Fastest Growing
Company.
"People are more conscious about health and wellness and are
making more concerted efforts to have a balanced diet," said
Jackie Clark, National Automatic
Merchandising Association spokeswoman. There's evidence that shows
that sales go up when healthier items replace traditional vending
options. "This is a trend that's here to stay."
According to the Automatic Merchandising State of the Industry
report, there is an increasing demand for healthy vending, from
both consumers and operators. "Vendors reported that healthy food
attributed as much as a 25 percent upswing in sales." Furthermore,
the report stated that new technology was empowering the industry,
"allowing operators to regain profitability and adjust to the ever
changing end user."
Other key drivers in the growth of healthy vending can be found
at The White House, who sponsors healthier eating initiatives; and
in Congress, who recently banned the sale of unhealthy food in
schools; as well as at the Center for Disease Control, who put out
a report that instructs all government facilities to replace
old-style vending machine fare with healthier alternatives.
