Innovation in the Service of Everyday Contact: MIBA and the New Generation of Vending Machines

    July 14, 2025

In the hectic urban landscape and at the focal points of our society, the Ticket vending machines for subways, airports, train stations, parking lots and in any context where payment of a title or registration of access is required, they have become more than just machines: they are essential interfaces between people and services. They are constantly evolving, requiring not only inherent robustness and attractive design, but also sophisticated integration of payment systems (coins, cash, modern systems), issuing attestations, managing access, depositing or withdrawing assets.

The realization of such complex equipment demands a perfect symbiosis between precision carpentry e Electromechanical apparatus assembled, tested, validated and ready for distribution or installation. This is where MIBA, with years of experience in the industry, stands out as a strategic partner. Our in-depth knowledge of production processes and our ability to offer turnkey solutions ensure that each vending machine is not just an object, but a reliable, high-performance system designed for maximum durability and flexibility.

The Infallible Structure: Precision Metalwork for Vending Machines

The first impression and endurance over time of a dispenser depend to a large extent on its exterior and interior architecture, which must be flawless. Our Metal Carpentry Division is the pillar on which this excellence is built. With a proven track record spanning more than four decades, MIBA employs the most advanced manufacturing and management technologies to ensure extremely precise and safe workmanship.

A vending machine, whether a ticket dispenser in a station or a payment terminal in a parking lot, is constantly exposed to environmental stresses and heavy use. Therefore, the choice of materials and the quality of their processing are crucial. We can process a wide range of materials, from steel to aluminum, ensuring maximum versatility for projects of different natures and complexities. The precision of our carpentry ensures that every door, every coin slot, every card reader slot is perfectly aligned and secure.

In addition, to ensure prolonged durability and superior performance even under harsh conditions, we offer high quality surface treatments. These treatments protect the dispenser from wear and tear, corrosion and external agents, helping to maintain a flawless appearance and unaltered functionality over time. Our precision carpentry is not only ruggedness, but also a guarantee that all internal components, from electronics to dispensing mechanisms, are housed in a protected and tailored environment.

The Technological Heart: The Electromechanical Equipment Division

Beyond the solid carpentry, the real value of a dispenser lies in the complexity of its electromechanical equipment. Our Equipment Division is at the heart of this intelligence. With a constant focus on innovation and quality, we offer continuous collaboration and technical support to our customers for every project.

MIBA handles the entire production process of electromechanical equipment with meticulous care, from the initial industrialization phase to final testing. This means that whether it is a public transportation ticket vending machine or a kiosk for the pickup/deposit of goods, we take care of the proper assembly of all subsystems:
  • Payment systems: Management of coins, banknotes, contactless credit/debit card readers and chips
  • Dispensing mechanisms: Ticket printers, card dispensers, mechanisms for issuing receipts or depositing/picking up items
  • User interfaces: Touch screen displays, keyboards, sound systems
  • Security systems and sensors: Anti-fraud checks, occupancy sensors, cameras.


This comprehensive management allows us to provide a production line that can respond efficiently and flexibly to the specific requirements of each project, ensuring solutions that combine innovation and reliability, always in synergy with the technical and operational needs of our customers.

Productive Flexibility: Responding to Variable Market Needs

The field of vending machines is constantly evolving, with the need to adapt to new payment technologies, different configurations for specific contexts (e.g., internal vs. external), and fluctuations in production volumes. The production flexibility is a key pillar of the MIBA offering.

We have developed highly advanced skills in managing complex production processes, including selecting and coordinating suppliers, optimizing workflows and performing articulated assemblies. This allows us to effectively manage both large volume production for standard models and small series with highly specialized set-up variants. Imagine the need to produce a ticket dispenser with a country-specific bill module, or with a customized multilingual user interface; our facility is designed to handle these specificities without compromising time or quality.

In addition, we offer maximum flexibility in delivery methods: we can operate in "full supply", where MIBA manages the entire production process and the purchase of materials, or in "processing account", with materials supplied by the customer or partly made and purchased by us. This versatility translates into timely and efficient management of components and products, ensuring adherence to delivery schedules and the highest quality standards.

From Prototype to Deployment: An Integrated Support for Your Success

MIBA's support goes beyond just manufacturing. Our expertise extends to the activities of industrialization support. We collaborate closely with our clients to transform innovative ideas into concrete and rapidly applicable solutions, optimizing every step in the production of a dispenser.

We are the ideal partner for companies wishing to move from the prototype or pre-series stage to continuous production, with consolidation of product quality and reliability. This is crucial for vending machines, where reliability in the field is critical for customer satisfaction and reduced maintenance costs. Our full service integrates metalworking, constant technical support, assembly activities and a network of structured partnerships, all complemented by efficient logistics. MIBA is a single point of contact that can meet a wide range of production requirements, from initial carpentry to complete assembly for shipment.

Concrete Examples: MIBA Vending Machines in Action

The versatility and precision of our capabilities are reflected in the wide range of industries and applications in which our vending machines find use.
  • Public Transportation Ticket Dispensers (Subways, Airports, Train Stations)]: These systems require extremely robust carpentry to resist vandalism and reliable electronics to handle millions of transactions. MIBA ensures seamless integration of high-speed printers, RFID/NFC readers for subscriptions, and weatherproof payment modules (if external), ensuring that the system is operational 24/7.
  • Payment Kiosks for Parking and Limited Traffic Zones. : These vending machines require high resistance to weather and external stresses, as well as safe and fast payment systems. Our ability to provide protective surface treatments and assemble complex electromechanical systems ensures that the kiosk operates flawlessly even in adverse conditions.
  • Access Control and Goods Collection/Deposit Systems: For smart lockers or parcel pick-up terminals, precision carpentry is vital for door security, while electromechanical integration ensures reliable opening/closing and accurate recording of operations. MIBA's manufacturing flexibility allows it to handle dimensional or functional variants to meet different logistics needs.


Our dedication to quality is certified by internationally recognized standards: ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) and EN 1090 (Structural Metal Products)7. These certifications are a testament to our daily commitment to providing vending machines not only performing, but also safe and conforming to the highest standards.
