"The acquisition of Bunn marks an important step in strengthening Ali Group's leadership in the global coffee and beverage equipment sector and advancing our long-term growth strategy. Bunn brings a strong heritage, a culture of innovation and a highly complementary portfolio that expands our global capabilities."
"Bunn traces its beverage equipment business to the mid-1950s, when George R. Bunn began developing improved drip-brewing systems, including the company's flat-bottom paper filter and early Gravity Drip commercial brewer. The company, based in Springfield, Illinois, was formally incorporated in 1963 and remained privately held and family-owned through five generations."
"The acquisition gives Ali Group a highly recognizable brand in the North American commercial equipment market, as Bunn machines can be readily found on countertops in coffee shops, restaurants, office break rooms, convenience stores and other foodservice environments."
Ali Group has acquired Bunn, a prominent North American beverage equipment manufacturer, incorporating it into its Welbilt portfolio of approximately 115 brands. Bunn, founded in the mid-1950s by George R. Bunn and based in Springfield, Illinois, remained family-owned for five generations before this acquisition. The company is widely recognized in commercial foodservice environments including coffee shops, restaurants, and convenience stores. Ali Group, the world's largest foodservice equipment group by sales, operates from Chicago with European headquarters in Milan. This acquisition strengthens Ali Group's coffee equipment portfolio, which already includes brands like Crem, Egro, Promac, Rancilio, and Rancilio Specialty. The move advances Ali Group's long-term growth strategy in the global beverage equipment sector.
