American Vending Sales buys Wisconsin equipment company
American Vending Sales based in Elk Grove Village announced today that it purchased Midwest Equipment Supply LLC in Jackson, Wisconsin.
The combined companies will conduct business together under the name American Vending Sales Inc., with their main office in Elk Grove Village and branch offices in Jackson, Wisconsin and Bloomington, Minnesota. American Vending Sales Inc. is a distributor of amusement, gaming and vending equipment founded in Chicago in 1971.
"This is a merger of two progressive and professional companies which hold similar values and a philosophy for doing business with honesty and integrity while maintaining a positive work environment," said MES Owner Tom Vogt. "Though we will now operate as one company, our customers can still rely on the same personal working relationships that they have had in the past."
"Combining these two companies will provide our customers with an extensive portfolio of high quality vending machines and parts as well as local service and support," added AVS President Vince Gumma. "Both AVS and MES have considerable talent and experience in all areas of the vending industry and going forward our products and employees will allow us to better serve our customers."
AVS is in a growth mode. It purchased Bloomington, Minnesota-based Lieberman Companies in January. The firm was honored in the Daily Herald Business Ledger's 25th Annual Awards for Business Excellence last spring.
