United Tooling Solutions Launches PPE Vend

United Tooling Solutions (UTS) Group, part of Troy (UK), is pleased to announce the launch of a new vending solution, PPE Vend. Designed to help the public remain safe and secure on the go, PPE Vend offers direct and easy access to certified personal protective equipment (PPE).

Suitable for shopping centres; airports; railway stations; bus terminals; service stations; stadiums; arenas and public spaces, PPE Vend is an efficient way of supplying high-quality PPE to the UK public, long-term.

Members of the public can purchase individual items or multi-packs of personal protective equipment and hygiene products e.g. British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) grade reusable face-coverings and hand sanitiser, using contactless payment. A digital receipt, sent via e-mail, is optional. Automated real-time stock reports help avoid stock-out situations.

All products available through PPE Vend are professionally checked, tested and certified against necessary British and EU safety standards.

UTS Innovation

PPE Vend was the brainchild of UTS sales director, Ed Thomas who saw an opportunity to supply high-quality safety equipment to the public, which met the same standards as products used in the medical, manufacturing & trade industries.

Mr Thomas said: “The idea came early into the pandemic after seeing a lot of poor-quality PPE enter the market. With our proven experience in PPE supplies and vending solutions, I felt that we could provide the public with safe and easy access to good-quality, and where possible, environmentally friendly products.

“We understood that personal protective equipment would be critical in enabling lockdown restrictions to be eased and in some areas, such as public transport, may become mandatory. PPE Vend provides a safeguarding solution for the public, and supports transport providers and operators, alongside retail and entertainment organisations as they navigate a safe return to work.

“We can’t predict how long this outbreak will be here, however, businesses like ours will continue to innovate and provide solutions such as PPE Vend.”
