Necta · Snack & Combo Machines
The Necta Vismo is Evoca Group's entry-level offering in the snack segment—240 product slots, 7-inch touchscreen, and optional telemetry at one of the lowest price points in the category. Without R290 refrigeration (no cooling compartment), it is designed for dry goods only, but for bars, crisps, and nuts it is the most cost-effective option under €3,500.
from €3,200
Necta · Cold Drink Machines
The Necta Kikko is the most proven cold beverage vending machine in the German market – reliable, maintenance-friendly, and backed by the broadest service network (Evoca Group). It makes no technical leaps, but has solved the core challenge for decades: cans and bottles cooled, payment processed, immediately available. The Kikko ES version with touchscreen modernizes the user interface. For offices, factories and restaurants with 30+ vends per day, the first choice under €5,000.
from €3,200
Rheavendors · Hot Drink Machines
The Rheavendors CB1 is Evoca Group's budget offering in the hot-beverage segment: bean-to-cup under EUR 2,500, powder-milk system for low maintenance overhead, and MDB-equipped for later cashless upgrade. For locations with fewer than 80 cups per day and limited budget, it is a solid choice—without premium expectations for taste or IoT capabilities.
from €2,400
Tomra · Reverse Vending Machines
The Tomra T9 is the reference machine for beverage container returns under Germany's single-use deposit system. With ~80 % market share in Europe, 15-inch touchscreen, Tomra Insight IoT platform and up to 2,000 units/hour, it sets the industry standard. For supermarkets from ~300 m² retail floor space, the clear first choice – yet its near-monopoly status is simultaneously its weakness and its strength.
from €8,500
JURA · Hot Drink Machines
JURA's dual-grinder flagship for continuous commercial operation – 32 specialities, TÜV-certified hygiene and P.E.P. brewing method. The revised Generation II (2023, Type 748/749) increases to 2700 W and 32 specialities; any buyer should always verify the generation. Strongest argument: turnkey package combining quality, hygiene and an active JURA service network – a genuine investment that pays off at ≥ 80 cups/day.
from €5,700
KEBA · Parcel & Locker Systems
The KEBA KePol FS-16/20 is a modular outdoor parcel locker from Austria that supplements or replaces traditional KEP infrastructure (Post, DHL, DPD). With IP44 protection, optional heating, NFC/QR retrieval and the KEBA KePlug IoT backend, it convinces through robustness and low operating costs. For municipalities, residential developers and retail, a strong alternative to Packstation dependency.
