Give a brief history of the company.
Founded in 1979, Technik began as a supplier of ticket dispensing machines to the charitable gaming industry. Expertise in dispensing thin, flat items grew when Technik won some significant state lottery contracts. This success allowed Technik to branch out into prepaid and loyalty card dispensing units. Most recently, the foray into prepaid phone card dispensing led to the development of the self-serve ePin dispensing kiosk. This latest line, which includes both a free-standing unit as well as a counter-top model, can dispense up to 40 separate products.
