On the occasion of its ninety-fifth birthday - it was 1924 when the first mechanical sorters were made - there is so much emotion at Unitec, retracing the goals achieved during almost a century of work with a single and clear mission: to improve and make more effective and efficient the processing and quality selection of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Unitec's growth has been extraordinary, both in terms of revenue and in terms of number of employees. However, the most important and constantly monitored parameter is always the satisfaction of its Customers. "The real metric,” said Angelo Benedetti, “the most important unit of measurement is Customer satisfaction, derived from the achievement of concrete results".
Marco Magnano, owner of Solfrutta, also talks about Concrete Results, recalling the 22 years of cooperation between Unitec and his company: “In 1997 we processed about 5,000 tons of fruit. Today we process about 40,000 / 45,000 tons of fruit per year, including peaches, plums, apples and kiwifruits.”
Unitec is also linked to Italfrutta by a multi-year cooperation that has given great Results. Singh Sandeep, Production Manager: “After more than thirty years with Unitec, we have succeeded in improving our work, we have evolved and we have always succeeded in achieving our objectives with the utmost confidence, thanks to the reliability of the Unitec people.”
Not only Italians but also customers from all over the world, located in various Countries have achieved very important results thanks to Unitec technologies.
Gabriel Grisanti, Director of the Argentine Patagonia Packing House Tres Ases: “Thanks to the relationship with Unitec we grew from 30,000 to the current 45,000 tons of product processed in our twelve-year relationship!”
Vítor Araújo, owner of the Portuguese Packing House Kiwi Greensun, echoes his words: "Unitec provided us with our first sorter. The company had just been created, it was a small company that processed 1,500 tons of kiwifruits. Currently, we process 8,000 tons of kiwifruits every year.”
The projection into the future and the passion for innovation characterize the new Unitec project for the creation of a Research and Development Center, which will be built in front of the company's
headquarters.
This Center, which will include new offices, an area entirely dedicated to prototypes, conference rooms, training rooms and a showroom, it will investigate mechatronics, robotics and artificial vision. In order to ensure its Customers always get new Results.
The attention of Unitec is certainly aimed at new technologies, but also at its own collaborators, the true engine of the company. In front of these 95 birthday candles, Angelo Benedetti therefore wanted to thank all the employees and collaborators: “I thank everyone who has worked in the past and those who work today at Unitec, one by one. Without the contribution of each of them, we would not have achieved all this!”
