New York State Automatic Vending Association

Welcome to New York State Automatic Vending Association's web site. We are a trade association made up of vending companies, product and equipment suppliers and manufacturers, to promote the vending industry. While doing this we also keep close watch on Albany for legislation aimed at the vending industry.

NYSAVA is a state organization chartered by the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA). NAMA's services include government relations (state, local and federal), education, legal counseling, newsletters, and national trade shows. In 1997 NYSAVA enacted legislation lifting the state and local sales tax from vended hot drink sales, and the one-third of snack sales previously taxed. In 2000, we enacted more far reaching tax relief legislation that will exempt all vended sales, including candy and carbonated drinks, at $.75 or less. In short, NO state chapter in NAMA's network of 31 state councils has been more effective in representing the vending industry than the New York Automatic Vending Association. We also host an annual golf outing each fall at some of New York's most beautiful courses, and three general membership meetings held each year, throughout the state, to help promote our industry identity, pride, and goodwill.
