Enrico Franzolin and UNOX:
An example of the meeting between innovation and Lean Enterprise

Enrico Franzolin
UNOX President
UNOX began developing ovens capable of autonomously determining the ideal cooking process, thanks to complex software and sensors. This innovative journey has been carefully mapped and structured over time, showcasing the ability to solve problems in a creative and engaging way.
Enrico Franzolin is a source of contagious enthusiasm, able to engage and motivate his team, encouraging them to become independent problem solvers. He never settles for superficial answers and insists on getting to the root of the problem. He constantly pushes the team to develop and test new ideas, as illustrated by an episode where, after discussing a steaming issue, they created a prototype using an iron that very same evening.
Franzolin has always had a clear vision of where he wanted to go, blending brilliant creativity with the ability to delegate. His leadership has brought international recognition to UNOX.
Franzolin’s Lean approach has transformed UNOX into a model Lean Enterprise, aided by his decision to dismantle METEX after fully grasping Lean principles. His ability to delegate and give his team space has enabled the company to serve as a model for others, continuously fostering innovation and promoting the personal and professional growth of its employees.
The journey of Franzolin and UNOX serves as a shining example of how innovation, effective leadership, and Lean transformation can drive success and achieve global recognition.
