German validation systems provider NRI has appointed two new distributors for Greece and Malta.

Solutions and Options, which currently acts as distributor for vending manufacturer Crane Merchandising Systems, will now also distribute NRI products throughout Greece.

Mark Simmons, overseas manager for NRI, said: “The Greek vending market continues to grow in importance and with question marks on future possibilities in the Greek gaming market, now is the right time to place our trust in Solutions and Options.”

In Malta, meanwhile, Interbrands, which was formed in 1994 with a specific focus on the cigarette vending market has been chosen as distributor for NRI.

“Although Malta is a relatively small island, the coin-op industry is growing in importance,” Simmons continued. “With the appointment of Interbrands as distributor in Malta, the local coin-op industry has a local contact of expertise.”
