Liskom

Liskom is a Russian vending-machine and self-service-equipment manufacturer headquartered in Moscow, with a development center in Samara. Founded in 2004, the company initially worked on interactive kiosks and slot machines before moving into vending equipment. Its best-known product is Kopirkin, a coin- and banknote-operated self-service photocopier designed for public locations such as educational institutions and other facilities requiring autonomous document copying. Liskom introduced its first vending photocopier in 2007 and subsequently broadened the Kopirkin range. Kopirkin Print, introduced in 2008, added internal memory and a keypad for printing predefined documents, while Kopiring Profy, developed in 2009, combined printing, scanning, and copying functions with a touchscreen interface. The company’s equipment is designed as unattended, standalone machinery rather than as conventional office photocopiers operated by staff. The company’s technical scope extends beyond complete vending machines. Liskom develops associated electronics, including watchdog timers for interactive kiosks and automated teller machines. Printed circuit boards used in its machines are produced and programmed in-house, indicating an integrated approach to hardware development and control-system production. Kopirkin machines use a ruggedized metal cabinet and support GSM/GPRS telemetry for remote monitoring. The cabinet is manufactured by TechnoProm Group LLC, according to the available reference material. Liskom’s primary market is Russia, with additional sales and representation in CIS countries. Dealers and representatives have been identified in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and several Russian cities, while some equipment has also been exported to Europe. The company has been described as one of the better-known participants in the Russian vending-machine manufacturing market and as the first Russian manufacturer of vending photocopiers, a claim associated with utility model patent RU70010 (U1). Publicly available information does not establish its current ownership, executive leadership, listing status, or present operating status.

Liskom was established in 2004 in Russia. Its early activities focused on interactive kiosks and slot machines, placing the company within the broader field of unattended electronic equipment and automated public-service systems. The available historical record does not identify the founders or provide detailed information about the company’s early corporate structure. A major change in direction occurred in 2007, when Liskom began manufacturing vending machines and launched Kopirkin, a self-service photocopier operated by coins and banknotes. This product represented a specialized application of vending technology: instead of dispensing a conventional retail product, the machine provided copying services without requiring an attendant. The system was designed for public deployment and used a durable metal enclosure intended to resist vandalism. It was based on a Xerox photocopier platform, according to the available reference material. Liskom expanded the Kopirkin concept through two later models. Kopirkin Print, associated with 2008, added built-in memory and a keypad that allowed users to print predefined documents. In 2009, the company developed Kopiring Profy, a touchscreen-operated machine combining printing, scanning, and copying functions. The latter model was aimed particularly at educational facilities, where users could access multiple document services through a single unattended unit. The company’s engineering activities also included supporting electronics. Liskom developed watchdog timers for interactive kiosks and ATMs and produced and programmed the printed circuit boards used in its own machines. Its equipment incorporated GSM/GPRS remote monitoring, enabling operators to receive telemetry and supervise machines deployed away from a central office. This emphasis on remote supervision was important for unattended equipment because it could support operational monitoring across distributed installations. Liskom’s headquarters are in Moscow, while its development center is in Samara. Its principal market has been Russia, with distribution and representation extending to CIS countries, including Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Some products were also exported to Europe. The company has been characterized in reference material as one of the larger and more recognizable manufacturers in Russia’s vending-machine sector. Its claim to have been the first Russian producer of vending photocopiers is linked to utility model patent RU70010 (U1). Beyond these documented developments, public information is limited regarding later product generations, ownership, leadership, financial performance, and the company’s current status.
