International deal for Brulines

BEER monitoring company Brulines has landed a deal with a global firm which will allow it to step up its presence in Europe.

The Stockton company’s subsidiary Vianet has won a contract with an international fast moving consumer goods company to supply its telemetry technology to customers across Europe.

Vianet manufactures telemetry hardware which is used in vending machines and to carry out cashless payments with credit cards, cheques and mobile phones.

Brulines employs around 250 people and makes equipment which measures the quality, quantity and temperature of drinks served in the leisure sector through a range of data management products.

The fast-growing company acquired Dunfermline-based Vianet in December 2008 for an undisclosed fee at a time when it was recovering from heavy losses the previous year.

The new deal with the unnamed international firm boosts Brulines’ drive to gain a bigger global presence in the vending marketplace.

Brulines CEO James Dickson said: “This is an exciting opportunity to work in partnership with a leading international customer and is a significant step in Vianet’s development as an international provider of real time monitoring to the growing vending market.

“Our teams are now focused on implementation and delivery of this strategically important contract, and delivering the customer’s return on investment.”
