AVT's Coolest Vending Machine Ever Features Quiksilver Clothing
CORONA, CA--(Marketwire - 07/20/10) - AVT, Inc. (formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pinksheets:AVTC - News) (www.avtinconline.com)
When the Standard Hotels -- the hottest hotel chain in the country, places vending machines poolside, and stocks them with hip fashions and accessories from Quiksilver, you know this is something special.
AVT has developed custom machines for this specialty hotel chain with locations in Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. These ultra-chic hotels are known as being the playground of the rich and famous, and now they offer their guests some high-class merchandise in what many think are the world's most unique vending machines.
These exclusive machines are capable of dispensing a wide variety of merchandise, including Quiksilver board shorts, bikinis, sunscreen and sunglasses, all via a high-tech touch screen display and self-service credit card reader to complete the sale.
A recent article in the Los Angeles Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jul/18/image/la-ig-hotelgift-20100718) reported that many hotels are taking their gift shops upscale, and offering their guests more unique and exclusive items. While some hotels are changing the inventory inside their shops, others -- like the Standard -- are reaching out to their customers with a whole new method of distribution: Upscale vending.
Already on dozens of blogs as "the coolest vending machines ever," the AVT designed units at the Standard to offer bathing suits, sunscreen, and flip-flops instead of the usual sodas and snacks.
AVT company founder Shannon Illingworth thinks that the Standard Hotels are at the forefront of an ongoing evolution in retailing. "The old brick and mortar high overhead business model is dying," he stated. "Now forward-thinking entrepreneurs can sell their merchandise directly to consumers 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, with a fraction of the startup costs selling everything from custom t-shirts and cell phones, to cosmetics and even jewelry, Our vending systems are literally a store on legs."
At the heart of the system is a PC running a new, highly advanced software program that processes a customer's credit card in a matter of seconds, while also sending alerts to the machine's owner -- providing up-to-the-minute sales reports and notifications of low inventory on any item.
"Our new machines offer the quickest, easiest, and lowest cost approach for anyone to start their own business," Illingworth commented. "And with our new sleek stylish designs, finished with hot graphics, these machines command attention and capture sales."

AVT Produces New "Factory Tour" Video
CORONA, CA--(Marketwire - 07/15/10) - AVT, Inc. (formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pinksheets:AVTC - News) (www.avtinconline.com)
In today's highly competitive environment, not many companies are willing to allow a video production crew inside their facility to document their operation. But AVT is one of those rare businesses that is so proud of their achievements, they want the world to see just how they do what they do.
AVT Founder Shannon Illingworth got the idea to produce a video when he was on a recent conference call with some shareholders and found himself saying, "I wish you could see the inside of our facility," as it was buzzing with activity, and several brand new units featuring the company's latest technology were sitting literally right outside his office.
From design and engineering, to manufacturing, sales and customer support... virtually all aspects of the company's operation are handled under one roof. The corporate officers are not in plush offices at some distant location -- they are right there on the manufacturing floor, keeping their finger on the pulse of the very heartbeat of the company.
And it was that spirit of innovation and enthusiasm that Illingworth wanted to convey -- to shareholders, to investors, to customers, and to prospects.
"I'm very proud of our entire operation," Illingworth commented. "What we've accomplished this past year has been remarkable, and I want to share that with the world."
The video has been made available to the public over the internet. To view the new AVT video, simply go online to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_gzk0frde8

AVT Founder Describes Lawsuit Against Randall Lane
CORONA, CA--(Marketwire - 07/12/10) - AVT, Inc. (formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pinksheets:AVTC - News) (www.avtinconline.com)
In a letter to shareholders, AVT Founder, Shannon Illingworth, wrote about AVT's $100 million dollar lawsuit against Randall Lane. The lawsuit was filed on June 30, 2010 in California Superior Court, County of Orange.
The lawsuit was filed by AVT in response to alleged libelous and false claims made by Lane in his book and in his web column. The lawsuit also names The Penguin Group -- publisher of Lane's book, and RTST, Inc -- an internet publishing house where Lane is Editor-at-Large.
In his letter to shareholders, Illingworth wrote: "Mr. Lane recently wrote and published in his book specific allegations against Lenny Dykstra, former major league professional baseball player. Among the allegations and statements Lane wrote concerning Mr. Dykstra, was that he (Dykstra) was given thousands of dollars worth of AVT stock as payment for his efforts to promote AVT."
The letter further states that these allegations about AVT were completely false and damaging to AVT.
Illingworth stated categorically, "At no time ever has AVT engaged in stock or money transfer to Lenny Dykstra for the purpose of promoting AVT public stock."
The lawsuit states that the Lane's story and book "included false statements, (and) was degrading to the plaintiff," and that the defendants "acted in reckless disregard for the truth."
Illingworth also noted that AVT is solid and secure, with production and stability that are as strong as ever. He stated, "We are continuing to build our business and further solidify our position as the technological leader in our industry."
