Innovation, temperature-controlled storage and new sales opportunities: Adimac brings automated retail solutions to the butcher shop sector, exhibiting as a guest of Borgo Legatrici at iMEAT.
From 11 to 13 October 2026, Adimac took part in iMEAT, a leading trade fair for the meat industry and butchery sector, showcasing its refrigerated meat vending machine as a guest of Borgo Legatrici, a company specialising in meat processing solutions.
Three days of networking and discussion with industry professionals, during which we demonstrated how automated retail can become a tangible growth opportunity for butcher shops, delicatessens and businesses specialising in the sale of fresh food.
24/7 Butcher Shop: Quality Meat, Available Around the Clock
Product quality, flexible opening hours and convenient shopping are increasingly important to consumers. The Adimac meat vending machine meets these needs by enabling businesses to sell fresh meat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when their traditional retail premises are closed.
This solution allows butchers to extend their service beyond the counter, reach new customers and make their speciality products available outside regular business hours.
More than just a vending machine, it represents a new approach to meat retail: combining the quality and expertise of a traditional butcher shop with the convenience of 24/7 automated sales technology.
Temperature-Controlled Storage and Food Protection, Even in Challenging Conditions
When it comes to fresh meat, proper storage is essential. The Adimac meat vending machine is designed to maintain a controlled internal temperature between 0°C and +3°C, helping to preserve the appropriate storage conditions for the products.
The system is complemented by 9 cm of thermal insulation, designed to improve temperature retention and minimise the impact of external temperatures, even during periods of extreme heat.
This technology is engineered to deliver reliable performance and efficient refrigeration management, meeting the specific requirements of businesses selling fresh food products.
Gentle, Ergonomic and Raised Product Delivery: Every Detail Matters
Particular attention has also been paid to how products are delivered to customers. The vending machine features a lift-based delivery system, designed to gently lower products during collection, ensuring a more controlled and careful dispensing process.
The raised collection hatch also makes the machine easier and more comfortable to use, improving the overall customer experience.
Because a good vending machine should do more than simply sell products: it should provide a convenient, straightforward purchasing experience that reflects the quality of the products on offer.
More Opportunities for Butchers, More Freedom for Customers
Adimac’s participation in iMEAT was an important opportunity to share a practical vision of the future of food retail with industry professionals.
The refrigerated meat vending machine opens up new opportunities for businesses looking to expand their local presence, offer a continuous service and adapt to changing consumer purchasing habits.
With Adimac, the traditional butcher shop can evolve while keeping what matters most at its core: product quality, customer care and a commitment to innovation.
