VENDEX Turkey EXPO concluded with success


Turkey’s second Vending Machine Technologies and Self-Service Systems Exhibition, Vendex Turkey saw leading companies of the vending machine industry coming together on 3-5 February. Organized concurrently with ATRAX


Exhibition, Vendex Turkey was a centre for many B2B meetings over three days thanks to a shared target audience and visitor potential. The participating companies said that they were


very satisfied with the visitor interest. There were visitors from all over the world. Some 320 companies participated in a total of 168 stands while 17,519 people visited the fair in three days. Nergis Aslan, president of Tureks International


Fairs said: “We are happy to bring together the vending machine technologies and self-service systems sectors that have not come together for two years. The companies participating in the fair were very satisfied with the visitor interest. Non-participating companies visited and said that they wanted to participate next year. This sector is a sector with a great potential serving large projects.”
