Black Tie Services Acquires Jades Vending

BALTIMORE -- Black Tie Services has acquired Jades Vending Corp. (Rockville, MD), marking its fourth acquisition in the past three years. Baltimore-based Black Tie Services said it will equip most of Jades' 2,700 machines with telemetric and cashless capability.

"This key acquisition of Jades gives Black Tie Services more concentration in the Washington, DC, metro area, along with acquiring a 42-year-old vending company with a great team of employees and excellent customer base," said Black Tie president Scott Meskin.

Black Tie acquired Paramount Vending (Jessup, MD) in November 2014. It now operates 7,000 machines, primarily in the Baltimore and Washington markets. It also maintains routes in Virginia, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
