PADERBORN, Germany — Wincor Nixdorf AG will provide 500 reverse-vending machines for NETTO Marken-Discount, a subsidiary of Germany-based EDEKA Handelsgesellschaft, according to a news release. Wincor also will provide service for the machines for two years. The machines are scheduled to be installed throughout 2009. The contract comes as a win for Wincor Nixdorf, which is attempting to strengthen its position as a vendor of self-service and automation solutions for retail chains.

NETTO has ordered Revendo 9000 systems, which can identify both individual containers and crates. The machines are touted for being flexible and having customizable background technology, which ensures smoother operation and high availability.
