Unox, a global leader in commercial oven technology, has commenced production at its first US manufacturing facility in Denver, North Carolina, marking a historic milestone in the company’s global expansion.
The facility expansion represents a $20 million investment. The North Carolina location is manufacturing products specifically designed for the North American market, including the recently launched CONVEX convection oven, which was developed exclusively for US foodservice operations.
“Opening our first US manufacturing facility marks a pivotal moment in Unox’s commitment to the North American foodservice industry,” said Derrick Richardson, Unox president of North America. “By establishing domestic production capabilities, we’re not only streamlining our supply chain but also ensuring we can respond more quickly to the specific needs of American operators.”
Global expansion
The Denver facility announcement comes as Unox continues its global expansion, including the development of Unox City, the company’s state-of-the-art headquarters and innovation center in Padua, Italy. The company’s growth strategy reflects increasing demand for advanced commercial cooking solutions across international markets.
“We have started production in our new plant in the United States, the first one abroad, a key element of a strategy that sees Italy at the center of our global network,” said Nicola Michelon, CEO of Unox Group. “The North Carolina facility represents our dedication to supporting the growth and innovation of the American foodservice industry while maintaining our commitment to quality and excellence.”
The new North Carolina facility expansion will enable Unox to:
- Reduce lead times for North American customers
- Provide faster service and technical support
- Customize products for regional market requirements
- Strengthen relationships with domestic suppliers and partners
North Carolina was selected for its strategic proximity to major transportation corridors, skilled workforce and strong manufacturing heritage. Unox has already established a presence in the Charlotte area with its existing operations, and this expansion deepens the company’s commitment to the region and the broader Charlotte business community.
