Swedish appliance giant Electrolux has acquired French espresso machine manufacturer Unic, bringing a full suite of espresso equipment to its Electrolux Professional division for the global foodservice and hospitality sectors.
The acquisition comes as Unic is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the design of its original machine, the Idrotermica, created by Italian Mario Levi. In 1929, Levi established the Unic manufacturing company in France, where it has been based ever since.
The financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
