The Cateys 2026 sponsor spotlight: Unox

Unox was founded in Italy in 1990 and is now a €360m-plus global company. It combines cutting-edge technology and stylish design to deliver innovative, sustainable equipment solutions that overcome the challenges faced by chefs in commercial kitchens. 

Its range of more than 80 models includes the revolutionary X-Generation ovens, such as SPEED-X, the world’s first self-washing combi speed oven, and CHEFTOP-X and BAKERTOP-X, combi ovens that have reimaged professional cooking and set a new benchmark in commercial catering equipment. Unox has also developed the revolutionary EVEREO, which redefines hot food preservation to maintain food at precise serving temperatures for up to 72 hours.

Delivering full sales and service support on a global stage, Unox is committed to product development, working in collaboration with an international network of dealers, distributors and operators in more than 140 countries. With a key focus on sustainability and quality, Unox manufactures 94% of its components in-house, using its state-of-the-art facilities at Unox City, a purpose built, 130,000 sq ft facility in Northern Italy.

Unox has a progressive approach to operations, with a focus on simplicity and energy saving for users including Digital.ID and Data Driven Cooking to enhance performance and deliver consistency. This technological standpoint ensures Unox ovens are recommended and used by leading companies and chefs across the world.

As a company, Unox is as much about supporting its customers and championing the hospitality sector as it is about manufacturing the latest sustainable equipment and energy-saving technology, and it’s for this reason that Unox UK is delighted to return as the sponsor of the Sustainable Business Award at the Cateys 2026. 

We’ve seen first-hand how some of the most forward-thinking operators – many of whom with the environment at the centre of their business – have gone above and beyond to deliver a sustainable operation for their customers. This award recognises those companies, celebrates the very best and demonstrates how our industry is committed to a green future for all. Unox is proud to play a play of this, both in the way our business operates and in being a category sponsor at the Cateys 2026.
