The company spent three years developing this equipment line, which features customizable dispensers capable of handling products like instant cappuccinos, micro-ground coffee, and hot cocoa. According to President Bryan Real, the shift to soluble products with a two-year shelf life offers significant overhead savings, including reduced freight and storage expenses. The machines are built for rapid conversion, allowing operators to switch between beverage types—such as changing a liquid-cream dispenser into a latte machine—within minutes.

United Food Group Targets Market Expansion with New Dispensing Technology
United Food Group is scaling its beverage equipment platform across U.S. and international markets, shifting focus from liquid-based systems to shelf-stable soluble products. The Elgin-based manufacturer aims to replace traditional bag-in-box dispensers with versatile machinery designed to cut logistics costs and reduce waste for commercial clients.
