"I am very excited about this opportunity at U-Vend. The global branding relationships that are being developed create a strong value proposition with which to launch our new consumer products category. I think the potential of our sport-themed premium ice cream products, and the social interaction we can create with consumers, is tremendous. I am looking forward to working with Mark and the team at U-Vend," stated Crone.
