Roboqbo Srl's joining the Unox group marks a fundamental evolution in the company's mission to build a fully integrated ecosystem where food processing systems, intelligent commercial ovens and automated workflows work together to deliver exceptional operational performance.

This acquisition expands Unox's capabilities beyond commercial ovens, strengthening its leadership in food processing equipment and next-generation kitchen automation technologies.

 

Why Roboqbo strengthens Unox's leadership in kitchen automation

Roboqbo, founded in 1978 in Bentivoglio (Bologna, Italy), is globally recognised for its engineering excellence in food processing equipment. Its flagship Qbo Universal Processing System is designed to mix, cut, refine, homogenise, cook, cool and pasteurise—combining multiple steps of food preparation into one automated, compact unit.

In commercial kitchens, these operations typically require multiple machines and extensive manual labour. Roboqbo consolidates them into a multifunctional food processing system that increases precision, improves hygiene, reduces handling and ensures consistent results. For chefs, bakeries, laboratories and food manufacturers, this represents a significant advancement in professional kitchen automation.

 

Addressing today's foodservice challenges with automation

The foodservice industry faces structural challenges: labour shortages, rising operational costs, skill gaps and the need for standardised, repeatable workflows. The combined Unox + Roboqbo ecosystem offers a comprehensive solution by delivering:

  • automated preparation workflows
  • intelligent cooking processes
  • consistent and replicable results
  • increased productivity with reduced staffing
  • improved hygiene and operational control


This is where kitchen automation becomes tangible—supporting operators not as a futuristic concept but as a practical, everyday tool that boosts efficiency and quality.

 

A unified vision: building the future of automated commercial kitchens

Unox's long-term strategy is to build a connected ecosystem that integrates:

  • intelligent commercial ovens
  • multifunctional food processing systems
  • robotic and AI-driven workflow automation
  • data-centric optimisation through Data Driven Cooking
  • smart equipment designed for consistency and scalability

This unified approach reinforces Unox's mission to deliver professional kitchen automation that empowers chefs, restaurants, bakeries, food chains and laboratories to work more efficiently, creatively and sustainably. It also positions the Group at the centre of a new technological category that bridges food processing, kitchen automation and advanced foodservice equipment.
