Single door vending machine in Italy

On March 3, 2026, a customized single-door vending machine from Minno, Luoyang, Italy to Luoyang, Henan Province, was successfully delivered to the Italian customer and has officially commenced operation.

In March 2026, LUOYANG MINNO OFFICE FURNITURE CO.,LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Luoyang Minno") completed a customized order for a chain coffee shop in Milan, Italy, delivering 10 single-door intelligent vending machines. The equipment has successfully passed EU CE certification and customs clearance, and has been installed and put into use in multiple stores in Milan, mainly selling coffee capsules, snacks, and small daily necessities. This marks Luoyang Minno's first entry into the high-end European retail market with its vending machine products.

Key Product Features and Customization Highlights

The single-door vending machine delivered by Luoyang Minno was custom-designed for its Italian client. Featuring a compact single-door design (occupying only 0.5 square meters), it's ideal for spaces in cafes, offices, or small shops with limited space. The machine is equipped with a 10.1-inch high-definition touchscreen, supporting multilingual interfaces (Italian, English, French), contactless payment (compatible with credit cards, NFC, Apple Pay/Euro payment systems), and a built-in temperature-controlled preservation module. It can sell a variety of items, from coffee beans to chocolate bars. The system integrates AI inventory monitoring and remote replenishment, supporting daily sales of over 200 items per machine, with a 99% self-diagnosis rate. Compared to the standard model, this customization optimizes for EU food safety standards and environmentally friendly materials, ensuring zero-plastic packaging compatibility, and adds Italian-style LED lighting and personalized logo printing.

In the Italian retail market, the large space requirements and inconvenient payment methods of traditional vending machines have always been pain points. The introduction of Luoyang Minno's single-door vending machine not only improves the efficiency of self-service sales in stores but also helps clients achieve 24-hour unattended operation, perfectly matching the fast-paced urban lifestyle of Milan.

Authoritative Evaluation

The head of Minno's European business in Luoyang stated, "As the center of European fashion and coffee culture, Italy has extremely high requirements for the aesthetics and functionality of vending machines. Our customized single-door models fully incorporate the client's needs, effectively solving the pain points of limited store space and slow restocking, allowing Italian consumers to enjoy a convenient and intelligent shopping experience." An Italian client, the manager of a Milanese chain coffee shop, commented, "Minno's vending machines from Luoyang were delivered quickly and are of superior quality. After a week of trial operation in our store, sales exceeded expectations by 20%, which will help us expand our unmanned retail business."

Market Outlook

With the recovery of the European unmanned retail market (projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% from 2026-2030), Italy, as a core EU country, is experiencing strong demand for coffee and snack vending machines, especially in tourist cities like Milan and Rome. This delivery by Luoyang Minno not only solidifies its foothold in the European market but also paves the way for future expansion into countries like France and Spain. In the future, single-door customized models are expected to become standard equipment in small European stores, helping the company achieve its overseas delivery target of over 100,000 units by 2026.
