AVS currently has 27 members, all of which are independently-owned, professional vending businesses, providing vending services from 42 locations and operating under the AVS national service umbrella.

AVS acts as a buying consortium for its members and this is the first time it has awarded an exclusive contract for the supply of cups - from this point forwards all members will use Benders cups and associated products.

Benders Vending and Beverage Manager, Ian Keeffe said: "This is a fantastic win for Benders. For the first time AVS has awarded an exclusive contract to ensure that Benders is its sole trading partner for the supply of cups. This really reinforces belief in our products and services and will further cement our relationship with its members. This is our second significant win in recent months which underpins our position as the UK's number one supplier to the vending industry".

AVS Chief Executive, Brain Tustain commented: "We are delighted to have chosen Benders as our supply partner for paper cups within the AVS membership. Its ability to deliver a range of quality products that can be custom printed without high volume commitment is a huge advantage for our members. The Wrexham production factory is ideally based for fast distribution around the UK and we look forward to watching the volume of paper cups grow as they assume a more significant choice for vending operators in the future".
