The transaction represents the sixth investment of Wisequity VI and aims to support the company and its management team in the expansion into the Retail Tech sector. The founding family and other minority shareholders will reinvest in the company to ensure management continuity.

Founded in Schio (Vicenza) in 1967, FAS International is one of Europe’s leading operators in the vending machine industry. After evolving from a manufacturer of snack and beverage machines into a full-line vending operator, the company has established itself as a pioneer in smart vending, leveraging digital innovation and artificial intelligence to enhance the end-consumer 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.
