In 2026 we are targeting growth in the \u2018extra-vending\u2019 market, also thanks to pharmacies and tobacconists with Vendix.\u201d <\/h5>\n        <\/div>\n    <div class=\"block-content-half-columns__column\">\n              <div class=\"block-content-half-columns__text\" data-inview><p>\u2013 FAS International SpA, one of Italy\u2019s leading players in automated retail, has increased its stake in Alturas Sistemi Srl from the current 35% to 80%.<br \/>\nIn October 2024, FAS acquired an initial 35% stake in Alturas, a software house based in Villafranca di Verona (VR) specializing in advanced management solutions, custom applications, and hardware and software infrastructures. Now, just over a year later, the acquisition of an additional 45% further consolidates a strategic partnership that will enable FAS to strengthen its digital architecture through an integrated software and hardware ecosystem, supported by artificial intelligence technologies that are increasingly central to the group\u2019s future development.<br \/>Despite the challenges that have affected the vending sector in recent years \u2013 from inflationary pressure to rising costs across the board \u2013 FAS expects to close 2025 with consolidated revenues slightly higher than in 2024, at approximately \u20ac58 million. This result has also been made possible by the contribution of Alturas and, more recently, Vendix, which joined the group in July 2025 with a 70% stake, set to increase to 100% within two years.<br \/>Looking ahead to 2026, the company is optimistic about expanding into the \u2018extra-vending\u2019 market, which includes 24\/7 automated stores and collective catering \u2013 also supported by solutions for automated canteens under the \u201cFood24 system\u201d \u2013 as well as new retail tech opportunities for pharmacies and tobacconists developed with Vendix, a newco born from a spin-off of Microhard.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block-spacer -bg-white -space-xxl\">\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"block-content-half-columns -bg-white -content-mode-title_text\">\n  <div class=\"block-content-half-columns__row\">\n    <div class=\"block-content-half-columns__column\">\n          <h5 class=\"block-content-half-columns__title\" data-inview data-split>\u201cDespite the difficulties facing the sector, our outlook for 2026 is positive,\u201d said Francesco Cantini, Managing Director of FAS International. <\/h5>\n        <\/div>\n    <div class=\"block-content-half-columns__column\">\n              <div class=\"block-content-half-columns__text\" data-inview><p>. \u201cRecent acquisitions have allowed us to strengthen our focus on the development of integrated digital solutions and on the continuous upgrade of hardware system functionality and stability, with the aim of improving the purchasing experience and generating efficiency across the entire value chain. Our vision remains that of an advanced \u2018Retail Tech\u2019, based on the integration of digital technologies to support retail. The partnership with Alturas has launched a joint development path that is delivering excellent results, improving not only the consumer experience but also the operational management for customers and operators. Now, with Vendix, we are entering new B2C segments such as pharmacies and tobacconists, where after-sales support requires extremely fast response times and a high level of dependence on the manufacturer. In this context, artificial intelligence represents a key factor for us: we intend to apply it across all our solutions, with a particular focus on after-sales, where it can ensure predictive diagnostics, faster interventions and an unprecedented level of service quality.\u201d<br \/>Alongside the strengthening of FAS\u2019s stake in Alturas, Giovanni Pizzoli has been confirmed as Chief Executive Officer of the Verona-based software house. \u201cThe partnership with FAS has delivered significant results,\u201d said Pizzoli, \u201cand we welcome the increase in their shareholding. This agreement allows us to maintain our autonomy while at the same time giving new momentum to a synergy that has generated benefits for both companies. Thanks to FAS, which has enhanced our innovation applied to Retail Tech, we are ready to enter the market in an even more structured way.\u201d<br \/>FAS International was founded in 1967 thanks to the vision of its founder, Antonio Adriani. Today, leadership remains firmly in the hands of the family, with Luca and Mariangela Adriani \u2013 the founder\u2019s children \u2013 serving respectively as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.      <\/p>\n<\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3713,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tipologia-news":[162],"class_list":["post-5711","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-news-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
