From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Dixie-Narco DN5000 glass front elevator/conveyence vending machine. This specific model is exclusive to Coca-Cola bottlers.

Dixie-Narco is a major manufacturer of soda vending machines located in Williston, South Carolina. Their main competitors are Royal Vendors, Vendo and Seaga. Formerly a subsidiary of Maytag, it is now a subsidiary of Crane Co., who also owns the Crane National, Glasco Polyvend Lektrovend (GPL), and Automatic Products (APi) brands.

One especially notable product from Dixie-Narco is their Beveragemax glass front vending machine. These machines allow a large variety of different products to be shown to the buyer before the beverage is purchased. The Beveragemax has been succeeded by the Bevmax 2, which features a moving cup that grabs and delivers the product to the buyer.

Along with Vendo, Dixie-Narco is currently one of the main providers of vending machines for PepsiCo, particularly in the eastern United States. Dixie-Narco is also a major provider of vending machines for Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, and a secondary provider of vending machines for the Coca-Cola Company.
