On Saturday, 7 April, the Ordinary General Assembly of CONFIDA renewed the institutional bodies for the four-year period from 2018 to 2022.
Lorenzo Bassi, Vending & Coffee Division Sales Manager for FLO, was elected for the second consecutive time to the board of Directors of Confida. The Board, the most representative organ of Confida, consists of representatives of the various commodity groups and activities which make up the National Association and which represent the entire Italian chain of food and beverage vending machines.
Lorenzo Bassi will be one of the four board members elected in the Group or Companies Manufacturing Products for Vending Machines, a fact that confirms FLO’s determination to participate in the trade associations where the strategy and policy lines of the entire vending sector are discussed and decided.

From July, R-HYBRID SKY will be available, the new generation of vending cups designed to anticipate the standards of the PPWR regulation and reduce the environmental impact of single-use products. The product introduces a lightweight eco-design that reduces the use of virgin raw materials while maintaining performance, a monomaterial structure without fillers to support recycling processes, and the use of 20% food-grade post-consumer recycled polystyrene. Integrated into the RiVending circuit, the cup supports a real “cup-to-cup” model and remains compatible with existing vending machines without any operational modifications.
