1954 - 

We opened our new remanufacturing division of vending machines. The Wittern Group saw a need in the vending market to provide quality refurbishment capabilities to the automatic merchandising industry. We opened this division at our Grand Ave location and reworked used vending machines that were primarily cigarette vendors.  

1957 - 

The Wittern Group relocated the refurbishing division to our Clive facility. The manufacturing building was only 30,000 square feet. We were building used vending machines for large customers as well as helping our finance division with their need to resell used vending machines to the vendor operator. 

1972 - 

Our capacity demands for the used vending machine market grew, and we needed to find a new facility that was just dedicated to reconditioning used vending machines. We purchased an 80,000 square ft facility in Waukee Iowa. During this time we started refurbishing used snack vending machines, used soda vending machines, used coffee vending machine, used cigarette vendors, etc… 

1990- 

We opened our facility to refurbishing our competitors' used vending machines for large customers. This allowed our customers the ability to centralize their rework needs.  With the expertise of our remanufacturing division, we have become a leader in the used vending machine market. 

Today - 

The Wittern used vending machine carries a one year warranty after we recondition the vending machines. Since we have been refurnishing our vending machines for many years after production we can reassure our customers that our brand of merchandisers will be supported for many years after production.
