All Hommy vending machines are made out of a flat steel plate. A film crew from “Today’s Lingnan” (今日岭南) on the TV station of Guangdong Province followed that journey from beginning to end — from the first cut to the final quality check — at our production base in Jiangmen, Guangdong.
“Today’s Lingnan” is a business-feature programme on TVS1 (Economic & Sci-Tech Channel) of Guangdong TV. It was launched in 2019 and joins more than 6,000 media outlets in China to showcase what Guangdong’s companies, industries and people are doing. On this occasion, the cameras went to the workshop floor.

One production line, one quality level

The crew recorded the entire process, station by station: laser cutting, where steel is cut to the correct dimensions; CNC punching and press-brake bending, where flat panels are bent to become machine bodies; injection moulding, where plastic components are created on-site; and assembly and testing, where a complete machine is checked before leaving the factory.

It’s the same line, it’s the same process behind each Hommy smoothie vending machine. At the structural stage, nothing is outsourced; body panels, the internal brackets and the plastic parts are all manufactured on site, and then assembled and tested by the same team. This translates to two things that are difficult to fake for the buyer: consistency and predictable lead times.
1999
The year Hommy began constructing vending machines and food-service equipment — ever since then, all in the same plant, with the same team.

The images taken by the cameras

A few finished machines were also captured on camera, such as a french fries vending machine and a robotic-arm automated vending machine. The wider Hommy line-up includes ice cream and frozen yoghurt machines, slush and smoothie vending machines, pizza, popcorn and hot food vending machines, sugarcane juice, popsicle and ice block machines.

Since 1999, Hommy Enterprise (Xinhui) Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing vending machines and food-service equipment, and currently has a 30,500 m² factory in Xinhui, Jiangmen. The company also accepts OEM / ODM orders, and exports to customers around the world.
What is the value to a buyer of a factory visit? The strength of a vending machine is determined long before it makes it to the street corner – in the thickness of its steel, the fit of its panels and the consistency of the assembly line. Most suppliers can give you a picture of the product; few can provide you a tour of the floor where they built it. That’s what the film crew filmed.
The feature will be broadcast on the TVS1 channel of Guangdong TV.
