Mikko Laaksonen, a gym owner from Finland, contacted us. He runs a local fitness center whose membership primarily consists of young people and working professionals. Because Finns prioritize health and nutrition, Mikko wanted to provide members with a more convenient way to get protein within their training facility, rather than relying on traditional counter sales or takeout drinks. After thoroughly understanding market demand and comparing various equipment options, Mikko selected our protein vending machine. After the machine was installed, he commented:
“This vending machine is very easy to use and allows members to get a fresh protein drink in a short time after their workout. It not only improves the customer experience but also provides an additional source of income for my gym.”
