Cash-handling experts Volumatic are proud to be celebrating its 50th anniversary.
It was on the 1st of September back in 1972 that Volumatic Ltd was founded by entrepreneur Frank Pegg, who established the company as a security business, producing end-of-aisle security mirrors, clothing security tags and early secure cash deposit devices.
After being acquired by Halma PLC, in 1982, Volumatic started to narrow down its remit, and after taking over count by weight scales specialists Omal, they began to specialise in innovative cash handling solutions to become the company it is today.
For the past 50 years Volumatic has strived to become industry leaders in the UK and is now making impressive strides across the globe too. It was the first business to bring an all-encompassing cash handling solution to the market, known today as the CCi; the first to offer a five-year warranty and also the first to offer a touch screen money-counting scale, the CountEasy TS.
A lot has happened over the last 50 years. In addition to the design, manufacture and launch of its industry-leading cash handling solutions and receiving the prestigious honour of The Queen’s Award for Innovation for its CCi solution in 2011, Volumatic has grown both in size and stature, securing partnerships with the likes of Tesco, The Co-op Food Group, Wilko, Morrisons and Genting Casino in the UK and Walgreens, Ulta, Tim Hortons, Petco and NBC Universal Studios in the U.S, as well as many more leading names across the globe.
James Harris, Volumatic’s Managing Director, said: “We work with any business which handles cash, from huge retailers to independent stores, banks, leisure companies, restaurants, QSRs and petrol forecourts. We punch above our weight, priding ourselves on the ethos of being ‘big enough to cope and small enough to care’, and we offer unrivalled customer service and aftersales support to all our customers.
“We have also invested a great deal in our people, growing from a handful of employees in the beginning to over forty in our head office based in Coventry, in the West Midlands. In 2021 we were awarded a Silver Investors in People (IIP) award, which reflects how well we look after our staff, and we are always committed to supporting our people at Volumatic, both personally and professionally.”
Today, Volumatic prides itself in being a leader in cash handling solutions across the globe and an expert in the cash handling industry we know and love, regularly partnering with the likes of the Bank of England, Enryo, Vaultex and Cash Essentials.
Harris added: “It is a massive achievement for a small company like Volumatic to be celebrating their 50th Anniversary and we are extremely proud of how the business has developed and grown over the last 50 years, and that in that time we have become well known as cash handling experts. We have a fantastic workforce, all of whom make a valuable contribution towards our success at Volumatic, and we will be celebrating together today, as well as looking forward to the next 50 years of Volumatic!”
Volumatic celebrated the special day with a party at its Coventry HQ for all employees and will be releasing a 50th anniversary video to mark the occasion in the coming weeks.
