Over the last years, the Vending sector has been expanding both in terms of business activity – offering a wider selection of products, not just food – and in terms of alternative distribution channel, complementary to conventional stores, thus providing several benefits. CONFIDA, in collaboration with Confcommercio, has published “La Distribuzione Automatica” as part of the series “Le Bussole” by Confcommercio – Imprese per l’Italia, thus providing a useful guide through the change the sector is experiencing.
