LOS ANGELES -- CNBC's "Make Me a Millionaire Inventor" featured AVT Inc. on Aug. 19. The vending company will appear again on the show's Aug. 26 episode, at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific Time.
The six-episode series is premised on a mission to find the "best inventions never made" and give them a new life. Engineers scoured the country looking for ideas that could make big money. They tracked down the inventors and gave them a second chance to bring their ideas and dreams to life. The inventors were given the resources and help they needed to take their products from concept to reality.
AVT was selected as the partner for two of the series' six episodes and its founder, Shannon Illingworth, appears on the program.
"People bring us their ideas, and we are uniquely capable of providing all of the components they need for success, including design, manufacturing, business planning, locations, marketing and communications," said AVT president Wayne Salvino.
