Founded in Schio (Vicenza) in 1967, FAS International is a European leader in innovative and connected vending solutions. Originally established as a manufacturer of snack and beverage machines, the company has evolved into a leading integrated vending operator and emerged as a pioneer in smart vending, leveraging digital innovation and artificial intelligence to enhance the end-user experience.

Today, FAS International is positioned in the Retail Tech market with an integrated hardware and software offering, serving many end markets, including pharmaceutical distribution, personal protective equipment, retail, and automated canteens. This positioning has been further strengthened by the recent acquisitions of Alturas (vending software) and Vendix (pharmaceutical vending machines).
The FAS Group currently employs 150 people and posted 2025 revenues of over Euro 58 million and EBITDA above 20%.

Wise Equity will support FAS International’s growth path to consolidate its leadership in vending and will sustain its strong potential in Retail Tech, with the objective of accelerating its technological evolution and international expansion.
