Vendanor is already established in nine countries, with the majority of our vending machines located in the Scandinavian market. While we continue to strengthen our presence at home, we are now expanding internationally. This spring and early summer, we participated in two major European trade fairs to showcase our technology to a broader audience.
– Over the years, we’ve received inquiries from all over the world, but for now, we’re focusing on the European market, says CEO Sverre Magne Haugen. – That’s why we signed up for the European Liquid Gas Congress in Katowice, an annual event held in various European countries, attracting participants from across the globe.
At the congress, the Vendanor team engaged in dialogue with gas suppliers from several continents. Presenting our solutions to an international audience was both valuable and inspiring — and we received excellent feedback on our design, functionality, and technological approach. There was particular interest in how our use of data can help gas companies optimize pricing, product offerings, and logistics strategies.
A few weeks later, we continued to the Deutsche Flüssiggas Forum in Berlin, a trade fair focused on the German market. Here, we connected with several German suppliers and potential partners. Our vending machine had to be lifted into place due to low door clearance at the venue — but thanks to a skilled crane operator, the challenge was handled smoothly. The event was well-organized, and we left with a very positive impression. We’ll definitely be back next year!
In summary: Vendanor experienced strong interest from the European market. We returned home with increased confidence that our vending solution and related services are in demand and attractive to customers across Europe. New connections were made, valuable insights gained — and the first orders are already on their way.
