Part of ASY International, Astrosystems is a manufacturer of cash handling and currently validation equipment. The company specialises in the design, manufacture and distribution of coin validators and banknote readers under the Microcoin and Global Bill Acceptors (GBA) brands.

Asked why they have become members of the EVA, a company spokesperson explained, “As a prominent manufacturer of currency validation systems, GBA bank note validators and Microcoin coin mechanisms, aligning with the EVA allows Astrosystems Ltd to actively participate in shaping industry-wide communication protocols and technical frameworks.

Membership provides the company with direct access to in-depth market intelligence and European market trend reports as well as creating vital networking pathways.

Through major industry events like the European Vending Experience (EVEX) which is being held in October 2026 in Vienna, Astrosystems Ltd can connect directly with international machine operators and key European decision-makers.”

The EVA is very pleased to see Astrosystems return as a member, with Director General Erwin Wetzel commenting, “I warmly welcome Astrosytems back to the EVA. Over recent years we have been continuing our important work with regards to cash and coin handling equipment topics, and maintaining strong dialogue with the European Commission and national mints. Astrosystems will now be able to once again add their voice to the EVA Coin Group discussions and enjoy the full networking and exposure opportunities at EVEX later in the year. I look forward to a productive partnership.”

Astrosystems, based in Oxforshire in the UK, joins the EVA as Supportive Member.
