Medeco sets the standard in high-security solutions for the vending industry. Our mechanical vending machine locks are built around advanced key-control programs that use proprietary cylinder and key technologies—ensuring that keys can only be duplicated by Medeco or an authorized service center, and only with your approval. Engineered for Maximum Protection Medeco vending locks combine pick resistant cylinder design with multiple layers of defense against physical attack. Hardened steel inserts shield the cylinder from drilling and forced entry, while our stainless-steel T handle features a free spinning, hardened steel cover that protects the lock from tampering. The result: a durable, high-security lock that’s built to withstand real world abuse. Upgrade to Intelligent Key Control — No Wiring Required Medeco’s Intelligent Key vending solutions take security to the next level with full access control and audit capability. Every opening—or attempted opening—can be tracked and managed through electronic scheduling and programmable permissions. Best of all, installation is fast and cost effective: simply replace your mechanical cylinder with an Intelligent Key electronic cylinder. No wiring, no downtime. Our Intelligent cylinders fit both existing NAMA standard T handles and Medeco stainless-steel T handles. Medeco delivers peace of mind through unmatched key control, physical protection, and intelligent access technology—helping you safeguard your machines, equipment, revenue, and operations.

Hop Research Council
The Hop Research Council is a non-profit organization that funds and directs hop research to benefit the U.S. hop industry. Members include brewers, hop merchants, and hop grower organizations. The Council also offers associate and sponsor memberships. The Council was established in 1979 by a group of hop industry members that believed in the benefit of a united hop research effort. Today, the original goal remains true. Brewers, Dealers, and Growers work together to fund and direct hop research, ensuring a bright future for the U.S. hop industry. The Hop Research Council funds research projects in the areas of plant pathology, agronomic research, public hop breeding, entomology, and brewing research. The Council’s hop breeding program develops public hop varieties that are available for all hop growers to produce and for all brewers to use. The newest public hop variety, ‘Vera’ was released in 2025 with the aroma notes of Mango, Peach, and Tropical Citrus Punch.
