Zanolli: More Than 70 Years of Innovation for Professionals

For more than seven decades, Zanolli has supported professionals in the pizza, bakery and pastry industries with equipment designed to meet the demands of their work. The Italian company has built its reputation around a philosophy combining experience, innovation and manufacturing quality.

Today, Zanolli is recognised both in Italy and internationally for its expertise, technologies and commitment to Made in Italy.

A Family Story That Began in 1952

The Zanolli story began in 1952 with Giovanni Zanolli, driven by his passion and professional experience. Supported by his son Gianfranco, he developed Electropizza, the brand’s very first electric pizza oven.

This innovation marked the beginning of the company’s development and quickly helped Zanolli establish itself in the European market thanks to the reliability of its equipment and the quality of its Italian manufacturing.

Continuous Growth Over the Decades

During the 1970s, the company gradually expanded its product range with the production of mixers, planetary mixers, dough sheeters and refining machines.

In 1977, Zanolli also created the company Comida, specialising in the manufacture of several types of equipment for bakery and foodservice professionals.

Innovation continued in 1982 with the patenting of Teorema, considered the first Italian modular oven. This technology would later lead to the development of the Teorema Polis range.

To support its international growth, Zanolli moved its production headquarters and technical offices to Caselle di Sommacampagna in 1991. The company continued to expand with the opening of a new industrial facility in Villafranca di Verona in 2010.

In 2019, Zanolli introduced AVGVSTO, an electric dome oven equipped with the patented Air Trap System, designed to improve heat circulation and distribution.

A Complete Range of Professional Equipment

Zanolli develops equipment for pizzerias, bakeries and pastry shops. Each product is designed with particular attention to quality, innovation, performance and environmental responsibility.

The different product ranges are the result of continuous research and development aimed at meeting the changing needs of professionals.
