Direct quote from VEND's September 18, 2017 press release:
"Utilizing the prototype units developed exclusively by Lancer Corporation and scheduled for certification and validation with both Underwriters Laboratories and the National Sanitation Foundation, the global manufacturer will be delivering an initial rollout schedule of 1,000 units of which 760 were pre-sold by June 30th, 2018 with the first units being ready for installation in November 2017."
I suppose you are going to tell me that "developed" doesn't mean "manufactured", just as you seem to be suggesting that a "contract manufacturer" that does not actually manufacture a single unit is not a "manufacturer"?
Here's a simple question - Who physically built the prototypes? And what exactly did Lancer do when it "developed" them?
I don't think I've stated any inaccuracies, but if I have, it is attributable to the lack of clarity on the part of VEND, which is a constant problem.
