UNOX, the Italian professional cooking technology brand, is strengthening its presence in India through a new partnership with Trufrost & Butler. The collaboration is aimed at expanding UNOX’s distribution network and making its range of professional ovens more accessible to chefs, restaurants, hotels, bakeries and other foodservice businesses across the country.
UNOX Strengthens Its Presence in India
The partnership will see Trufrost & Butler support the distribution of UNOX’s professional oven portfolio through its established network in India. The move comes as the country’s hospitality and foodservice industry continues to evolve, with professional kitchens increasingly seeking solutions that can deliver consistency, efficiency and reliable performance.
By combining UNOX’s expertise in professional cooking technology with Trufrost & Butler’s experience and market presence in India’s HoReCa sector, the two companies aim to respond more effectively to the changing requirements of foodservice operators across the country.
Expanding Access to Professional Cooking Solutions
For hotels, restaurants, bakeries and other commercial kitchens, equipment that can improve operational efficiency while maintaining consistent cooking results has become increasingly important. The partnership is expected to strengthen UNOX’s distribution capabilities and provide foodservice professionals in more markets with greater access to its cooking solutions.
Commenting on the partnership, Vikram Goel, Regional Director – UNOX India and South East Asia, said, “India’s professional foodservice sector is evolving rapidly, and we see significant potential for UNOX in the country. Our partnership with Trufrost & Butler is an important step in strengthening our channel network and reaching more customers across India. Their experience and market presence will complement our capabilities as we continue to grow our business and support the changing needs of professional kitchens.”
A Strategic Step in UNOX’s India Growth Story
The partnership marks another milestone in UNOX’s expansion in India. The company continues to invest in strengthening its market presence and building a robust channel network to serve the country’s growing professional foodservice, hospitality and bakery sectors.
With India witnessing continued growth across hotels, restaurants, cafés, bakeries and organised foodservice, partnerships that improve access to professional kitchen technology are becoming increasingly relevant to the industry.
