Coges is proud to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of its history achieved this year.

January 18, 1977 was indeed the birthdate of COGES. Since then, the company has gone a long way and has experienced numerous changes, presenting a wide range of payment systems for automated distribution and becoming famous in Italy mostly for its ubiquitous “coffee key”. This only one of the reasons why Coges has been able to impress its footprint in the history of Italian and European vending industry.

Over the last forty years, technology has changed enormously, just like any other aspect of the global panorama of the vending market. The company’s passion and search for the most innovative solutions, however, together with the quality of the products and customer attention have not changed. Coges has continued to grow and innovate thanks to those who have always believed in it and who has lent their work to the company with absolute dedication over the years. Therefore all our customers, who relied on Coges even in the most complicated moments in the history of vending, deserve our most sincere gratitude.

This anniversary – that makes us so proud – is not only the most suitable time to share with the industry professionals the satisfaction for all the objectives achieved in these years, but above all it is the opportunity to treasure our past and transform it into a resource for growing together with the world of vending.

In recent months the Coges team has grown thanks to Ing. Alberto Conte, who was appointed Site Manager of the head office in Schio (Vi) in January 2016, and Ing. Andrea Zonelli, new Responsible of the Research & Development.

Alberto Conte has an experience of many years as Associate Partner IBM Global Business Services and as Operations Manager. As Site Manager, at Schio his task is to coordinate the different areas and offices that make up Coges, from R&D; to sales, from Customer Service to CRM, from Administration to Human Resources. Conte also has direct responsibility for the direction of the production plant and logistics, including the management of the establishment. He is therefore a key figure of the corporate management in the Azkoyen Group, which has among other things the authority and the mandate to give a powerful stimulus to staff throughout the company, involving in particular the area of directors and managers with whom he will work closely.
Among them, the Ing. Andrea Zonelli, which since last month of July is the new Responsible of the Research & Development Area. Andrea Zonelli graduated in Mechanical Engineering and in the last five years has been Technical Manager and Quality in a prestigious company in the vending industry, in which he spent most of his career. His arrival has the ambitious goal to further strengthen the technical area of Coges and coordinate our team of professionals who every day gives shape to the most innovative ideas and transforms them in the most advanced technological solutions for vending.
With Conte and Zonelli, Coges sees thus become its structure more robust and able to respond more efficiently to the challenges of the market, meet the needs of our customers and keep faith in Coges experience of quality and innovation.
