AVS Companies was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1971 by Frank Gumma Sr. as “American Vending Sales.” Originally started as a used vending machine sales shop, over the course of several decades our company has expanded into a multi-branch, full-service distribution network serving the amusement, gaming and vending industries. To better reflect this transformation, our company was renamed “AVS Companies” in 2017.  We are currently headquartered in Elk Grove Village, Illinois where Frank’s son, Vince Gumma, now serves as president of the company. AVS has experienced many changes over the years including product line expansions, company acquisitions and the creation of new subsidiaries – but the one thing that has never changed is the DEDICATION that we provide to our customers. Whether we are installing the biggest new arcade game or securing the smallest necessary vending machine part – our team of experts will provide the dedicated service required to help your business grow.
