What we do

A full operation, not just machines.

Every Rydex deployment includes planning, logistics, on site staff and live monitoring.

Flexible placement

Custom layouts for indoor and outdoor zones, designed around venue maps, visitor flow and peak hour pressure points.

Professional on site support

Founder led support. We install, stock and service every machine ourselves, so it stays full, clean and operational.

Reliable festival logistics

Fast delivery, quick setup and proper power and space planning, coordinated with your production team.

About Rydex

Built on a vision of an automated future.

Rydex was founded on a simple belief. Automation should give people their time back. Vending at live events is where we begin, with smart machines, reliable logistics, and on site service so the experience never breaks.

We start on the Algarve in 2026 and grow from there, festival by festival, partner by partner.

Reliable by design

Live monitoring and redundant stock built into every deployment.

Fast setup

We handle setup ourselves, ready for tight production schedules.

Tailored placement

Every venue map and crowd flow gets its own plan.
