Utilizing his years of creativity in designing and love of toys, Applebaum will work with A&A Global to develop new, exciting toys, as
well as provide strategic advice.
“I have a lot of ideas and great concepts that I’ve worked on, but not necessarily the wherewithal to apply them,” said Applebaum. “So,
it’s nice to have a company that has the structure and capability of taking on any type of project.” A&A Global has an extensive line of
products, successful relationships with licensors and an all-encompassing product development and graphics arts department.

“The process of developing new toys and finding mixes that are interesting and sellable is very exciting to me, it’s my favorite thing,”
said Applebaum. “I’m looking forward to it, so when Brian (Kovens) asked me to stay on it was quite an ego boost for me. I thought it
was great, I can do things that I like.”
A&A Global’s transaction of TNT advances its mission to revolutionize the bulk vending industry. By combining decades long of
extensive product line, knowledge and two shipping points (Baltimore and Los Angeles) with TNT’s product development and exceptional customer service reputation, A&A Global will be better positioned to expedite the future of the industry by helping operators
grow their business with exciting products and revolutionary advice.
“We are all very excited about this historic event,” said Brian Kovens, A&A Global’s executive vice president. “Not only do we have the
pleasure of working with Rachel and Mike, we are also looking forward to working with our new customers. “
