SOUTH Automation specialises in coin processing where a machine has to be robust, detect reliably and last through years of heavy use. Development and production are in-house. From the Frankfurt area we supply central banks, CIT companies, banks and businesses worldwide. Since 2016 almost 10,000 coin machines from our own production have gone to customers around the world.
What we do
We build machines that count, sort, wrap, pack and move coins, with detection that holds up in daily work. The range also includes deposit systems for coins and banknotes.
Where the machines work
How we work
In-house
Development and production are in our own hands, so we still know every machine we have sold.
Workshop on site
Showroom, workshop and warehouse are under the same roof as the office in Groß-Gerau.
Support on the machine
In Germany our own technicians or certified partners come to you. Outside Germany our distributor is first on site, backed by SOUTH with parts, software, currency updates and training.
Short history
SOUTH Group has built coin machines since 1993, starting with basic counters. From 1996 to 2016 it produced OEM and white-label machines for partners in Germany, Japan and the US, including joint ventures, and export machines often carried other names, among them Procoin. SOUTH Automation Int. GmbH was registered in 2014 as Procoin International GmbH and has sold under the SOUTH, cashMAX and EvoLine names, with cashDNA detection, since 2016. Since then almost 10,000 coin machines have been sold worldwide under these names. The machines the group built from 1993 for partners and under export names are not in that figure and number far more. The quality did not change with the name, and pre-euro machines are still supported.
Since early 2026 the company has been at Wasserweg 19 in Groß-Gerau, near Frankfurt Airport.
