Smarte Carte, Inc. was founded in 1970 by Jim Muellner in the United States. At the time, Muellner saw an opportunity to provide a new level of convenience and service to travelers by creating a self-serve luggage cart kiosk for airports. Working together with airport authorities, Smarte Carte designed and manufactured the first self-serve luggage cart kiosk that was easy to use and accessible to everyone.
1970-2023
The kiosk was a hit, and soon
airports across the United
States were adopting the
Smarte Carte luggage cart
kiosk as the new standard.
Since those early days, Smarte Carte has continued to innovate and expand its product and service offerings.
Today, we operate in airports, rail and bus stations, theme parks, and retail centers around the world, providing millions of customers with a diverse range of products and services.
As a global leader in self-service solutions,
our mission is to transform the travel and
leisure experience through customized
and industry-leading solutions that enhance
and elevate the journey for millions of
people worldwide.
