OUR STORY: CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INNOVATION
In 1965, Jakob Gerhardt began working as a freelance sales representative for coffee vending machines and then founded his own specialised wholesale business in Bempflingen in 1969. Through his work, he learnt about the strengths and weaknesses of different vending machines and developed solutions to produce better hot beverage vending machines. In keeping with this tradition, Gerhardt develops innovative product lines that set standards for modern hot beverage coffee systems.
INNOVATIVE VENDING MADE IN NÜRTINGEN
Our aim was and is to continuously improve our hot beverage vending machines. We always have the needs of the vending machine operators and the individual wishes of the users in mind. In 1994, the first original Gerhardt hot beverage machine was ready for the market. It differed significantly from previous vending machines in terms of function and aesthetics and became a successful model. We still feel connected to this tradition today.
LOCALLY COMMITTED
We are a proud sponsor of TSV Raidwangen. In this way, we combine our great passion for football with our attachment to our homeland.

Jakob Gerhardt and his team continuously improved their vending machines, laying the foundation for the innovative and customer-orientated development of the range. In 2004, he handed over the company, which had grown to over 40 employees, to his sons Bernd and Ralf, who are continuing and expanding the success in this tradition.
