Founded in 1929, the Automatic Vending Association (AVA) is the trade association for the £1.65bn refreshment vending industry.
“We share the AVA’s mission of improving the quality of vending and of making sure customers can have confidence when dealing with a member company,” said Mike Gardner, International Paper’s sales and marketing director.
AVA chief executive Jonathan Hilder said: “It’s really pleasing that a company as substantial as IP has decided that its ambitions in the UK vending marketplace are best served by joining the AVA.”
The AVA takes an active role in representing the vending industry to government and opinion formers, lobbying on key issues to protect members’ interests and raising standards.
The company has also announced that it has been certified by FSC, the Forestry Stewardship Council for the UK.
