Sweet Robo designs and builds custom vending machines for brands, venues and distributors: a brand-new robotic machine around your product, or your brand on a proven snack, drink or treat machine. You bring the idea. We build the machine.
Built for Hersheypark, Fruit Riot and Imagine Exhibitions US‑based support
A custom vending machine is a machine designed around one brand, product or setting instead of bought off the shelf. With Sweet Robo it starts one of two ways, and either way the design, the engineering, the build and the support come from one team.
We design the cabinet, the mechanism and the guest experience around your product, then build and test it.
Built for Fruit Riot, Hersheypark and Imagine Exhibitions
A snack, drink or treat machine that already works, redesigned in your look. The faster route to a branded machine.
Built for Aurélia, ChocoVend and Genesis Health Clubs
Unique shapes, integrated lighting, motion and sound, or your full brand look on a proven machine. A vending experience people stop for.
We build new ideas from scratch - robotics, automation, custom mechanisms and sensors. If you can imagine it, we can engineer it.
Dozens of engineers, designers and developers across our New York and Kraków teams, working together to bring your vision to life.
A U.S.-based technical team delivering fast, responsive service and proactive assistance throughout your machine’s lifecycle.
Almost every layer. Here is what changes on a typical build, from the outside in.
The cabinet shape, colors, logo, custom panels and integrated lighting. On a proven machine this is the main change; on a new concept the cabinet itself is designed around your brand.

Robotics, dispensing mechanisms and sensors for a product no standard machine handles. A brand-new mechanism is prototyped and tested before the build.

The screens, the on-screen content and the ordering flow your guests see, from branded screen artwork to a full touchscreen store.

Card payments, barcode scanning and inventory tracking, set up around how your guests buy and what you need to track.

What the machine sells, makes or dispenses: frozen treats, fresh-made food, souvenirs, branded merchandise or printed items.

Every project is scoped up front, and the timeline depends on the scope. Branding a proven machine is the faster route; a machine built around a brand-new product adds design, prototyping and testing. We set the timeline with you before work starts.

Very different briefs, one team: two machines built from scratch and one brand on a proven machine.
Hersheypark needed to automate the sale of thousands of refillable souvenir cups through peak season - long lines, limited staff. We engineered a fully automated, cup-shaped machine with a giant display, barcode scanner and smart inventory tracking, now deployed across the park for a fast, fun, fully branded guest experience.
Fruit Riot came to us with a bold idea: a self-service machine that dispenses their signature frozen product with flair. We designed a custom-shaped unit with a large digital display, unique branding and automated dispensing with real-time inventory - an eye-catching machine built to draw a crowd and deliver, fast.
A proven glass-front machine redesigned in Aurélia’s look, with a large touchscreen store and card payments: the faster route to a branded machine.
Also built: branded machines for ChocoVend and Genesis Health Clubs, and themed grab machines for Imagine Exhibitions.
Themed grab machines for Imagine Exhibitions - a different build for every show.

Trusted by brands and venues you already know
A custom vending machine is a machine designed around one brand, product or setting instead of bought off the shelf. With Sweet Robo that means either a brand-new robotic machine built around your product, or your brand on a proven snack, drink or treat machine, with design, engineering and support from one team.
Yes. Sweet Robo designs and engineers custom vending machines from scratch - your concept, our robotics, branding, and US-based support. Brands use custom machines to dispense a signature product or to wrap an existing machine in their own look, turning the machine itself into an interactive marketing piece that draws and entertains customers.
Almost every layer: the cabinet shape, colors, logo, custom panels and lighting; the robotics and dispensing mechanism; the screens, on-screen content and software; payments, barcode scanning and inventory tracking; and the product the machine sells or makes.
Yes. The faster route is your brand on a proven snack, drink or treat machine: your colors, logo, custom panels, branded screen content and the products you choose to sell. Sweet Robo has built branded machines this way for Aurélia, ChocoVend and Genesis Health Clubs.
Yes. For a product no standard machine handles, Sweet Robo designs the cabinet, the mechanism and the guest experience around it, then prototypes, builds and tests the machine. The Hersheypark souvenir-cup machine and the Fruit Riot frozen-treat machine were built this way.
Yes. Sweet Robo is an American company that designs, engineers and builds its machines, custom builds included. In-house design and engineering teams in New York and Kraków work on every project, and a US-based team runs it with you from the first call to delivery and support.
Yes. You bring the idea; our in-house designers and engineers handle the industrial design, the cabinet and branding, the mechanism, the screens and the software, then build and test the machine. The custom-build team scopes it with you on a call first.
It depends on the complexity. Branding a proven machine is the faster route, while a machine built around a brand-new product needs design, prototyping and testing. Sweet Robo scopes the timeline with you up front, before any work starts, and keeps a US-based team on the project through delivery and support.
You can order a single custom machine or a full series. The Fruit Riot machines were built as a series, and the Hersheypark souvenir-cup machines are in use across the park.
It depends on the scope: a branded version of a proven machine and a brand-new concept are very different projects. The custom-build team scopes your idea first, then sends pricing and a timeline. Fill out the request form on this page to start.
A custom Sweet Robo solution can dispense far more than snacks - from frozen treats and fresh-made food to souvenirs, branded merchandise, and printed items like phone cases or chocolate. If a product can be stored and handled by a robotic system, Sweet Robo can usually engineer an automated machine to make or dispense it on demand.
Sweet Robo does. Every custom machine comes with onboarding, training, warranties, and a US-based support team reachable by video and chat - the same end-to-end support behind the standard lineup. That's the key difference from importing a one-off machine that arrives with no guidance: with Sweet Robo a custom build is supported for the long run.
Tell us about your brand, your product and your space - our U.S. design and engineering team will turn it into a machine your guests won’t forget.
