Dixie-Narco is a major manufacturer of soda vending machines located in Williston, South Carolina. Their main competitors are Royal Vendors and Vendo.
Founded in Ranson, West Virginia, the company's production facilities were relocated to Williston in 1989. Formerly a subsidiary of Maytag, it is now a subsidiary of Crane Co., who also owns the Crane National, Glasco Polyvend Lektrovend (GPL), and Automatic Products (APi) brands.
Along with Vendo, Dixie-Narco is currently one of the main providers of vending machines for PepsiCo, particularly in the eastern United States. Dixie-Narco is also a major provider of vending machines for Dr Pepper Snapple Group and a secondary provider of vending machines for The Coca-Cola Company.
Dixie Narco named their stack vendors by how many cans it would hold and a suffix denoting the series(no suffix meant an earlier single price machine), for example a 501E is an E-series vendor that had a capacity of 501 cans.
