Introduction:

In the highly competitive world of frozen pizza production, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Napoli Foods Inc., a leading frozen pizza manufacturer, recognized the need for innovation to maximize productivity and efficiency. By partnering with AMI Equipment, a renowned provider of custom ovens and bakery automation solutions, Napoli Foods Inc. found the perfect solution to revolutionize its pizza production process.

The Challenge:

Before implementing AMI Equipment's industrial pizza oven, Napoli Foods Inc. faced significant challenges. Labor costs, particularly on the West Coast, were soaring. The traditional, labor-intensive approach to pizza production hindered their ability to meet growing demand. With an ambitious goal of producing thousands of units daily, they needed a solution to optimize their processes and improve productivity.

The Solution:

Understanding the importance of automation in a high-volume production environment, Umberto Ortoli, the owner of Napoli Foods Inc., turned to AMI Equipment for its expertise. AMI's industrial pizza oven offered the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology and customization options. Collaborating closely with Napoli, AMI designed a pizza oven catering to Napoli's unique needs.


The oven featured a wood chamber and a brick layer on the chain, essential for achieving the authentic Neapolitan taste and texture that Napoli Foods Inc. sought to deliver. The oven's construction using stainless steel ensured durability and made it suitable for regular wash downs, a necessity in their USDA-approved facilities.

Impact and Benefits:

The partnership with AMI Equipment and the implementation of the industrial pizza oven brought significant benefits to Napoli Foods Inc. Firstly, the automation of their pizza production process drastically reduced labor costs, allowing them to operate more efficiently. Napoli Foods Inc. achieved higher consistency and quality by automating tasks such as stretching the pizza dough and pressing the pizza, leading to increased customer satisfaction.


The availability of local technical assistance was another significant advantage of working with AMI Equipment. In the fast-paced food processing industry, any equipment downtime can be costly. AMI's prompt and reliable service ensured minimal disruptions to Napoli Foods Inc.'s production line. The personal touch of working with a family owned business that prioritized relationships further strengthened the partnership.

Owner's Testimonial:

According to Umberto Ortoli, the president and owner of Napoli Foods Inc., 

"Family-owned businesses like AMI Equipment hold a special place in my heart. Their hands-on approach, loyalty, and commitment to customer satisfaction set them apart from larger companies. Whenever we faced issues with the equipment, AMI's team was quick to respond and offer solutions. The personal relationship we've developed has been invaluable to our success."

Conclusion:

With the implementation of AMI Equipment's industrial pizza oven, Napoli Foods Inc. experienced a transformation in its pizza production process. By embracing automation, customizability, and enjoying reliable customer support, they could increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and achieve consistent, high-quality pizza production. The partnership with AMI Equipment has revolutionized Napoli Foods Inc.'s operations and cemented its reputation as a leader in the frozen pizza industry.
