In the rapidly evolving landscape of the global unattended retail industry, China has emerged as a powerhouse of vending machine innovation and manufacturing. Shenzhen Zhilai Technology Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 300771) stands at the forefront of this industry transformation. With 26 years of profound expertise in intelligent storage and delivery solutions, Zhilai Tech has redefined the boundaries of China-made vending machines—integrating cutting-edge technology, global compliance standards and large-scale production capacity to meet the diverse business needs of more than 50 countries and regions worldwide.
The global vending machine market is experiencing explosive growth, driven by the surging demand for contactless shopping and operational efficiency. Zhilai Tech’s China-manufactured vending machines have become the preferred choice of international retailers, logistics giants and service providers thanks to their superior quality. Backed by a robust technological foundation of 665 authorized patents and 193 software copyrights, our products perfectly combine the precision of Chinese manufacturing with global technical standards, offering a cost-effective alternative that outperforms traditional suppliers from Europe and Japan.
What sets Zhilai Tech’s China-made vending machines apart is our unwavering focus on problem-solving technological innovation. The company’s flagship AI-powered vending machine leverages advanced computer vision and IoT technology to achieve 3-second ultra-fast automatic checkout. Consumers simply open the door, select products and walk away, with seamless payment processing via multiple cashless options including Visa, Mastercard, Alipay and WeChat Pay. This smooth and convenient shopping experience not only significantly boosts customer satisfaction, but also drives a 40% increase in transaction volume compared to conventional vending machines.
For business operators, our cloud-based management platform enables end-to-end visual monitoring and control. Real-time inventory tracking, remote fault diagnosis and data-driven analytics facilitate predictive maintenance and optimized inventory management, reducing operational costs by an average of 35%. Zhilai Tech also leads the industry in specialized segments: the age-restricted vending machine, jointly developed with Applestone Solutions, integrates ID Scan.net verification technology to fully comply with global regulations on the sale of controlled goods such as nicotine pouches and vape products. Despite its compact footprint, each unit can accommodate up to 488 items, making it an ideal choice for bars, casinos, convenience stores and other venues looking to expand revenue streams while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Stringent testing standards further validate our technological strength. Every China-made vending machine produced by Zhilai Tech undergoes rigorous extreme environment tests—withstanding temperatures ranging from -30°C to 65°C, passing 80,000 cycles of door lock durability tests and salt spray corrosion resistance tests. The exceptional stability of our products ensures 24/7 reliable operation across diverse scenarios, from bustling urban shopping malls in North America to humid street corners in Southeast Asia.
As a trusted China-based vending machine supplier, Zhilai Tech prioritizes global compliance standards to help partners access international markets without barriers, fully meeting the stringent regulatory requirements of the EU, the US, Japan, Southeast Asia and other regions. Our relentless pursuit of quality has earned long-term partnerships with global leaders such as Amazon—Zhilai Tech is the exclusive developer and manufacturer of Amazon Locker solutions, a testament to our ability to meet the world’s highest standards of reliability and performance.
Meanwhile, our manufacturing capabilities rank among the top in the industry. The company operates state-of-the-art production bases in Hubei, China and Vietnam, with an annual production capacity of over 200,000 intelligent cabinets and vending machines. The Hubei base efficiently handles large-scale orders with automated production lines and flexible manufacturing systems, while the Vietnam base enables localized production to help customers in Southeast Asia and Europe bypass trade barriers and significantly shorten delivery cycles. This dual-base synergy ensures supply chain stability globally, with prototype development completed in just 2-4 weeks and bulk order delivery within 30 days.
Zhilai Tech’s China-made vending machines adhere to a localization adaptation philosophy, deeply aligning with regional market preferences and demands to serve as truly global partners. Our refrigerated vending machines, featuring precise temperature control, are suitable for storing and selling a wide range of products including fresh food, pharmaceuticals and beverages, accurately capturing the market trend of healthy on-the-go consumption.
For the Southeast Asian market where convenience is paramount, we have optimized our machines for humidity resistance and full compatibility with local mainstream e-wallets. For emerging markets in the Middle East and South America, we provide durable outdoor models with dustproof and anti-theft features, supported by localized after-sales service.
