For over 100 years, UNITEC has been committed to improve the quality of handling fruit and vegetables in the many countries around the world where it is active, providing “customized” patented solutions, dedicated to all kinds of fruit and for every stage of the process, with the highest reliability and profitability standards for its Customers.
The close attention to the market’s needs and the constant search for solutions to improve the business of its customers, increasing efficiency and reducing the costs of handling processes of fruit and vegetables are the basis of the mission of UNITEC.
UNITEC solutions are 100% Made in Italy, they are manufactured inside the company and cover the entire cycle of fruit and vegetables handling: from the definition of the project to building the parts related to mechatronics, electronics, software, automation systems, robotics, traceability and external and internal quality selection, with very high-definition vision systems.
The UNITEC Group is organized into operational units in order to carefully follow all the main stages of the production chain, until the after-sales phase, with a professional and efficient service. Being close to the customer means providing a structured service with a network of 20 operational headquarters in some of the most important countries in the fruit and vegetables sector (Washington, California and Oregon in the USA, France, Spain, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Turkey, Australia and Canada) and a commercial structure that allows the UNITEC group to connect to each need of the Customers in more than 65 countries it is active in.
UNITEC has been among the first companies in the sector to obtain, in 2022, the ISO 9001 quality certification and, later, the OHSAS 18001 for work safety management system, and the ISO 14001 for environmental management system.
Exclusive technological solutions for blueberry quality sorting
For over 100 years, the continuous drive towards innovation, today led by its Research and Development Centre, has allowed UNITEC to constantly design and implement the most modern technologies to develop exclusive solutions for the external and internal quality selection of blueberries. With Blueberry Vision 3 and UNIQ Blueberries, UNITEC enables the industry to excite the end consumers and not disappoint them, by always offering blueberries of a consistent quality that meets their expectations.
The combined use of Blueberry Vision and UNIQ Blueberry guarantees a consistent quality of each supply over time, thus increasing both the value of the supplier’s brand and the satisfaction of the end consumer.
Another challenge that UNITEC has decided to face is to minimize labour costs, by designing automated systems for all stages of the process. In particular, blueberries are a type of fruit that, from harvesting to handling, can require a lot of labour, including specialized labour. To meet this need, UNITEC has developed solutions that combine reliable fruit sorting with very low labour costs.

But UNITEC’s innovation hasn’t stopped there.
UNICAL 222 Blueberry, the UNITEC sorter for handling small-sized delicate fruits, is now also available in a single-lane version: a machine that offers a preliminary view of a batch of product, thus helping to understand how to handle and market the batch.
Many innovations, many results.
Research and innovation: a path towards excellence, which for UNITEC means tangible results with the aim of concretely improving processes and the reliability of product supply to consumers all over the world. Attention to the market needs and the search for solutions to increase efficiency and reduce costs of the fruit and vegetable processes are the basis of the company’s mission, well expressed in its payoff, always oriented towards the future and the connection with customers: “We work for your results”.
