Headquartered in Kifissia, Greece, and with nearly 30 years in the commercial cooler business, the company operates in developed European markets and growing regions like India, East Asia and Africa.

Maria Pyrrou, marketing manager Europe, said: “As Frigoglass ventures into the autonomous retail solutions sector, joining the EVA will provide us with valuable insights, networking opportunities and access to the latest trends within the vending industry".

"We are committed to contributing to the advancement of the sector by working alongside other key players to ensure the continued success and evolution of vending solutions.”

EVA director general, Erwin Wetzel, added: “With self-serve retail solutions continuing to complement the traditional vending business, and provide new possibilities for operators and the consumer, having an additional smart fridge manufacturer as a new member will add a new voice to our various committee discussions".

"The unique EVA market data will certainly help Frigoglass with vital information and an in depth understanding of market trends, while our network of contacts and events can provide the opportunity to do new business.”
