Continuing a recent trend of growth, American Vending Sales completed the purchase of Texas-based distributor H.A. Franz & Co. on Nov. 1. The merger adds offices in Houston and Dallas to AVS’ current locations in Milwaukee, Minneapolis and their headquarters in Chicago.

 Joe Franz (left) and Vince Gumma shake hands after the acquisition was completed. Going forward, Franz and his team will work under AVS' banner to better serve the industry.

“As the amusement and vending industries become more consolidated and competitive, we thought it was time to make a move,” said Joe Franz, President of H.A. Franz. “We have a great deal of respect and trust in the people at AVS and fully expect our customers to thrive working with them.”

“H.A. Franz has been a leader in sales, service and integrity for the last 60 years and we are proud to be able to call them friends,” added Vince Gumma, President of AVS. “Everyone at AVS will strive to continue the levels of excellence in sales and customer service that they have provided throughout the years.”

All current H.A. Franz employees are transitioning to work under AVS’ banner, in order for the two companies to ensure the smoothest transition possible. Joe Franz will remain on to oversee the Texas branches and customers are encouraged to continue contacting their existing sales, parts and service reps in each office.
