UNOX Arabia Launches Riyadh Experience Centre to Boost Culinary Innovation

Leading commercial oven manufacturer, UNOX Arabia, has opened a new Experience Centre in Riyadh, offering chefs and foodservice professionals an interactive space to explore advanced kitchen technology and optimise operations. The launch comes as Saudi Arabia’s foodservice sector continues its rapid expansion, valued at more than $30 billion last year.

The facility, spanning over 5,000 square feet, features hands-on demo areas, a technical training academy and chef-led workshops. Visitors can test UNOX’s latest ovens, including the CHEFTOP-X™, BAKERTOP-X™ and the SPEED.Compact™, using their own recipes and ingredients to simulate real kitchen conditions. Operators can also trial equipment in their own kitchens, with support from UNOX’s team of specialists.

Abdallah Kassis, General Manager of UNOX Arabia, emphasised the centre’s role in supporting Saudi Arabia’s growing foodservice market. “We designed this space to help culinary professionals experiment, innovate and improve efficiency. As the sector evolves, our goal is to provide solutions that meet the demands of modern kitchens while promoting sustainability,” he said.

The Experience Centre also integrates UNOX’s energy-efficient technology, which reduces energy consumption by up to 30%, helping operators lower costs and environmental impact. The facility is equipped to host workshops, live cooking demonstrations and networking events, connecting chefs, restaurateurs and industry innovators.

By combining hands-on training with advanced kitchen technology, UNOX Arabia aims to strengthen the Kingdom’s culinary ecosystem, supporting everything from boutique cafés to large-scale restaurants.
