Unox officially celebrated the grand opening of its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Denver, North Carolina this week.
The event gathered foodservice dealers, manufacturer’s representatives and Unox leadership for an immersive, full-day experience inside the company’s newest facility.
The $20m facility, which began production in late 2025, marks the next chapter in Unox’s long-term investment in the Charlotte region and a signal of what’s ahead as the company deepens its roots in North America.
“We’ve been building toward this moment in Charlotte for a long time,” said Derrick Richardson, Unox president of North America. “This facility is a milestone and a platform for everything that comes next. Bringing our partners here to experience that firsthand felt like exactly the right way to open this chapter.”
“The U.S. facility is a key element of a global strategy bringing Unox closer to the customers we serve every day,” said Nicola Michelon, Unox Group CEO. “We’re invested for the long term. We are building something that will serve the American foodservice industry for years to come.”
Unox has been growing its presence in the Charlotte area since 2017. The new facility formalizes that commitment, giving the company a domestic manufacturing footprint to match the scale of its North American operations.
With the new facility, Unox is positioned to expand production capabilities, reduce lead times for U.S. customers, and improve service and parts availability.
The North Carolina facility is also part of Unox’s broader global strategy, which includes the development of Unox City, the company’s state-of-the-art headquarters and innovation center in Padua, Italy.
