In January 2000, a visionary company based in Europe started development on a machine that would enable operators to offer a new concept in soft drink vending and dispense. The company wanted to find a solution that would enable catering operators to improve their profits, not just through product and equipment range selection, but through efficiency savings. Following arduous production development by the inspired minds of the creative team, the company created a range of novel and innovative machines that offered something completely different to anything that had been on the market before. It was time well spent, ensuring that the end result would fulfil all the aspirations of an operator looking to increase profits whilst meeting the needs of the discerning consumer. In such a short space of time since the launch in 2002, the equipment range has gone on to become one of the most successful soft drink vending equipment range in European countries today. Cabana Soft Drinks, upon learning of this untapped technology, last year began discussions with the European patent owners to bring the sophisticated equipment to the UK as part of a long term partnership between the two companies. And so the Vivo-Tec range of machines is born.
