Crane Payment Innovations (CPI), part of Crane NXT Co., a specialist in payment and vending solutions, has announced the rebranding of its vending business as Crane Convenience, a move designed to reaffirm its leadership position and highlight its commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation within the convenience services industry.
For decades, CPI’s vending business, through heritage brands including Mars Electronics International, Conlux, CashCode, Money Controls, Dixie-Narco, National Vendors and Crane Merchandising Systems, has set the standard for vending excellence. These comprehensive solutions, encompassing highly engineered vending and coffee machines, payment technology, and software, work together seamlessly and have made CPI a trusted partner for operators worldwide.
The new Crane Convenience identity reflects this history while signaling a bold vision to drive the future of unattended retail. It underscores the business’ core belief: vending works best when systems are designed holistically, delivering simplicity, reliability, and growth for operators.
“This evolution is not about changing who we are,” said Matt Volinsky, VPGM of Crane Convenience, CPI. “It’s about reinforcing to the market what we’ve always stood for: quality and reliability, integrated solutions, and operator partnerships in a way that is clear, modern, and aligned with the future of convenience services. Today, the industry is evolving beyond traditional vending toward convenience services, a shift championed by leading industry associations and driven by consumer demand for speed, flexibility, and integrated experiences. The Crane Convenience name reflects this transformation, signaling our future ambitions and reinforcing our commitment to solutions that simplify operations and enhance consumer engagement.”
As part of this rebrand, Crane Convenience will also launch a new website designed to make it easier for operators to explore solutions, access resources, and connect with our team. CPI will continue to operate as the parent company, delivering integrated solutions across payment and retail technologies.
