October 10, 2017

U-Vend Inc., a consumer products and technology company that develops, distributes and markets self-serve electronic kiosks and merchandisers across North America, has entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with The Ice Cream Exchange to develop, produce and package its soon-to-be released national sports-themed ice cream products.      

"This represents an important step as we prepare for the launch of our unique line of ice cream products," David Graber, U-Vend chief executive officer, said in the press release.   

The Ice Cream Exchange currently produces ice cream desserts, bulk ice creams, sorbets, frozen yogurts and gelatos for Whole Foods and other grocery and chain store retailers, and has production capabilities to support 20 million ice cream units for U-Vend per year.    

"We are extremely excited to support and partner with U-Vend in the launch of its line of sports-related retail ice cream products. In the novelty ice cream category, we believe a new offering such as this is long overdue, and should be very well-received," said Rohit Walia, founder and CEO of The Ice Cream Exchange.
