Operandi Modular Vending Machine Surround
The Original Nebrak Vending Surround, Designed for Busy Locations
Developed by Nebrak, Operandi is a modular vending surround designed to protect equipment and bring individual machines into one coordinated installation.
Trusted by vending Operators Nationwide
Built Around the Realities of Vending
A vending machine surround needs to accommodate equipment that rarely shares identical dimensions and may change over time. Operandi uses a modular anodised aluminium framework to bring different machines together within a secure and consistent surround.
Each system is planned around the equipment, the available footprint, and the practical requirements of the site. Machine access, ventilation, servicing, replenishment and future changes can all be considered before manufacture.
The result is a vending area that feels connected to its surroundings while remaining practical for the people who operate and maintain it.

A System That Has Evolved With Vending
Operandi was developed by Nebrak in the 1980s as the UK’s first custom-made vending surround system. Since then, machines, payment technology and customer expectations have changed considerably, and Operandi has evolved alongside them.
The Smart Snack configuration shown here reflects that progression. Vending, payment and coffee equipment are brought together within one coordinated modular system, complemented by integrated signage and contemporary finishes.
Yet the principles behind Operandi remain familiar: protect the equipment, make the offer easier to navigate and allow the installation to adapt as requirements change.
That experience continues to inform every Operandi system designed and manufactured at our Devon headquarters.

Why Operandi for Your Vending business?
Operandi can create a modular vending bank for as many machines as the site requires, arranged in a straight or corner configuration. The system protects the equipment while allowing access for servicing, replenishment and future changes.
Operandi is the UK’s most widely used original vending surround system. Designed, built, and installed exclusively by Nebrak. It’s not just modular; it’s masterfully made.
Built around a durable anodised aluminium framework, each system provides custom vending machine housing configured around the equipment and demands of the site. Recyclable materials can be specified alongside finishes selected for expected wear, cleaning and maintenance.
Operandi+ adds serious functionality: LED-lit canopies for visibility, microwave and recycling bays for convenience and eco-responsibility, and media screens to engage and sell.
Create a branded vending surround using colour, full-panel graphics and custom signage. These elements can be designed, printed and applied by Nebrak’s in-house Print Studio, helping the finished installation feel consistent with the brand and wider location.
Perfect for vending machines locations in airports, hospitals, campuses, leisure venues, and corporate settings. Operandi is the original surround system that has stood the test of time.
