Expanding the Unox portfolio further with a target of €400 million in revenues for 2026, Roboqbo is set to strengthen Unox’s strategy to make advanced kitchen automation accessible to professional operators worldwide.

The acquisition will enable Unox to enhance its product range by integrating Roboqbo’s advanced robotic and process-automation technologies with its existing portfolio of multifunctional ovens.

This combined offering will extend automation to cooking and preparation tasks that cannot be performed inside an oven, supporting the group’s long-term goal of building a complete ecosystem for fully automated kitchen operations.

Roboqbo’s flagship solution, the Qbo Universal Processing System, is a multifunctional all-in-one unit capable of replacing multiple pieces of standalone equipment, including mixers, cutters, meat grinders, pasteurisers and cooking vessels offering greater efficiency, precision, safety and consistency in professional kitchens and pastry labs.

Nicola Michelon, chief executive - UNOX S.p.A., said: “This acquisition allows us to leverage a new technological package, strengthening our mission to deliver intelligent solutions to the needs of foodservice professionals. By integrating Roboqbo’s machines with our intelligent CHEFTOP and BAKERTOP ovens, we aim to offer customers an integrated platform capable of managing all food preparation and cooking processes.

“Full integration with our technological and supply-chain infrastructure will take around three years, but it will generate additional commercial and industrial synergies, with a positive impact on the Bentivoglio area where Roboqbo has always been based. We expect to see positive effects of this acquisition reflected in the group’s 2026 revenues, which we forecast at around €400 million.”
