American brand of soda vending machines
the Primal Scream EP

Dixie Narco was a former brand of soda vending machines located in Williston, South Carolina owned by Crane Merchandising Systems.

Founded in Ranson, West Virginia, the company's production facilities were relocated to Williston in 1989. Formerly a subsidiary of Maytag, it is now a subsidiary of Crane Co., who also owns the Crane National, Glasco Polyvend Lektrovend (GPL), and Automatic Products (APi) brands. The company was an early adopter of employee suggestion driven cost savings, soliciting suggestions based on the Rucker "share of production" plan in the early 1960s that helped drive down manufacturing costs. In 2017, the Dixie Narco, along with the National, GPL, and Automatic Products brands were retired in favor of the single Crane Merchandising Systems brand. The former Dixie Narco glass front products are still produced today under the CMS brand.

In 1991, Dixie Narco was involved in a legal dispute with Donald Trump before a Federal Bankruptcy Court related to Trump's Taj Mahal Casino. Dixie Narco claimed that they were owed payment by Trump for 1,350 bill changing machines they had supplied the casino with, and that the bond holder approval necessary for Trump's Chapter 11 filing had been improperly solicited as Trump had told them that Dixie Narco's claim for $6 million of the machines was "worthless". Trump also asserted that the machines had often broken down. The claim was settled with an offer of $2.4 million to be paid in increasing installments to Dixie Narco, as well as the Taj Mahal returning 500 of the machines, in return for which Dixie Narco withdrew their objection to Trump's Chapter 11 debt restructuring.

DN 3800 (small capacity)/DN 5800 (large capacity) glass front vendor featuring a robotic moving cup that grabs and delivers product to buyer. The product was initially introduced in 2006 as the Bevmax 2EP. The design was updated in 2008 as the Bevmax 3, where the delivery cup height was raised and speeds were increased. In 2009, a further updated version known as the Bevmax 4 was introduced. The Bevmax 4 features even faster vend speeds and is more energy efficient, optionally using LED lighting rather than fluorescent and meeting Tier 2 (later updated to Tier 3) Energy Star standards. In 2012, an updated version of the Bevmax 4 (known as the Bevmax Media) was introduced, replacing the keypad and vacuum fluorescent display with a color touchscreen LCD, as well as introducing a new integrated payment system with support for credit/debit cards, large bills, coins, and mobile wallet payment. The Bevmax 4 is available unbranded or through select Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper Snapple bottlers.
