Igeho 2025 celebrated its 60th anniversary and brought the industry together in Basel for five dynamic trade fair days. For us, it was a period defined by open conversations, valuable encounters and strong partnerships, shaped by a booth that attracted a steady stream of visitors.
From the first conversation in the morning to the final dialogue just before closing time, we could feel how open the industry is to fresh impulses and practical, implementation-focused solutions. We were delighted to reconnect with many of our existing customers while also building numerous new contacts that open up exciting opportunities for future projects.








A big thank you goes out to our booth partners foratable by Lunchgate, Pinit and Lightspeed for bringing our joint presence to life, side by side. Our appearance was further strengthened by the support of Smoothr, Brehm Consulting, Leat and FCSI Switzerland, enabling us to create a professional and cohesive overall presence. This collaboration is highly valuable to us and we look forward to realizing more projects together and continuing to strengthen the industry.
Another big thank you goes to Tomexpo for the excellent collaboration. Once again, the booth was a success: precisely executed, thoughtfully designed down to every detail and a visual anchor point for many visitors. This reliable partnership creates a stage year after year on which we can present ourselves authentically.
A warm thank you goes to Igeho. For its 60th anniversary, it once again demonstrated the passion behind the organization of this trade fair. We were especially delighted that, in this context, it also highlighted our own milestone. In 2026, Vendomat celebrates 70 years young.
Igeho writes about us:
"Since 1956, Vendomat has supported Switzerland’s gastronomy and hospitality sector on its path toward a digital future. From importing the legendary Wurlitzer jukeboxes to today’s modern Lightspeed POS systems and smart software solutions, the company blends tradition with technological progress and genuine passion for the industry."
It continues:
"For Vendomat, Igeho has been the most important stage since the 1980s to showcase innovations, nurture relationships and shape the future alongside the industry."
And on the significance of the anniversary, it states:
"The 70 year anniversary stands for continuity, trust and innovative strength. A moment that reflects the courage and drive embedded in this family business. Or as their motto puts it: success has three letters: act."
These words perfectly capture what Vendomat has represented for nearly seven decades: reliability, continuous development and the intentional connection between tradition and technological innovation, always in close collaboration with the industry.
