Valentine & CuisinEquip acquires ownership of Vito UK

As the exclusive UK distributor of leading German oil filtration manufacturer, Vito, Valentine & CuisinEquip has now proudly acquired ownership of the business. Having partnered with Vito UK for several years and with Directors Iain and Kim looking towards retirement, transferring ownership of Vito UK to Valentine and CuisinEquip is the perfect next step for the business's continued success.
Having been partners with Vito UK, Valentine and CuisinEquip has supported the company in distributing a range of unique, portable filtration systems to support operators in not only reducing their oil costs substantially but also improving the quality of frying oil by prolonging its life.
Speaking on the transfer of ownership, Iain Addison, Former Director of Vito UK commented:
“Following a blossoming partnership with Valentine Fryers and with the continued success of the business, we are delighted to have offered our company to Valentine and CuisinEquip, with the sale going through in March 2024. Kim and I, along with our fantastic team, partners and customers have built the business up from being just a sole trader importing products in 2006. Officially forming Vito UK in 2008, we’re incredibly proud of the way the company grew and Vito filtration technology has helped thousands of operators to save money, reduce waste and drive efficiency in the process. In Valentine & CuisinEquip, we’re confident the business will continue to thrive – the future looks promising.”
Philip Sanderson, Business Development Manager at Valentine & CuisinEquip adds:
“As proud distributors of Vito in the UK for several years, acquiring such a distinguished brand is a real privilege. We are incredibly pleased with what we have accomplished in partnership with Vito UK and look forward to continuing its success in the years to come.”
