The OAMA is an affiliate of the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants. Together, we work with the legislature and regulatory agencies to help shape policy and educate state government officials on how government and legislative action affects the vending industry. The Ohio Automatic Merchandising Association is made up of vending, coffee service and micro-market companies, product and equipment suppliers, and manufacturers dedicated to promoting the vending industry in Ohio. The OAMA works closely with the National Automatic Merchandising Association on advocacy issues including government, industry, and public affairs.
