With its revised vending machine insurance, ERGO offers flexible solutions in the vending market.
The market for vending machines continues to grow rapidly. With a sales increase of 18.7% in 2024, the vending-machine industry in Germany posted a new high of 4.62 billion euros. There are now over 620,000 food and beverage vending machines across the country – and more are being added all the time. Germany is one of the most important markets in Europe, but still has great potential for expansion compared with other countries. ERGO has relaunched its vending-machine insurance to address this encouraging growth and to meet the evolving needs of machine owners.

Our new product generation offers customised insurance solutions that can be easily adapted to different business models. Our focus is on the real needs of vending-machine owners, be they small regional businesses or large operating companies.
