The SVK Solar Vending Kiosk, a 100% off-grid solar vending machine made locally in Chattanooga, Tenn., by the company VendoMax, is designed as a trailer and can be towed on-site.
The Solar Z is a solar-powered soda vending machine made by VendoMax in Chattanooga.VendoMax officials call the beverage vending industry one of the least environmentally green in the country.
“There’s no sustainability,” said Chattanooga businessman Rob Creswell, who hopes to change the trend with the company’s innovative new solar-powered vending machines.
Saying the company is introducing “the greenest vending on the planet,” Creswell and partner Mark Hixson term the products the world’s first completely sustainable solar vending units.
Next week at a Las Vegas vending show, the company plans to display two machines, one on wheels and the other a fixed unit.
Creswell, president of a local industry supply company, and Hixson, who heads a Chattanooga printing firm, said the units are expected to be rolled out for use within the next three months.
