What started with a shared love of food and technology has evolved to become the only neutral, cross-brand platform that seamlessly brings appliances, home cooks, and recipes together–Fresco’s KitchenOS.
Smart kitchen appliance users are expected to reach 248 million worldwide by 2027. The Fresco KitchenOS platform is designed to facilitate the transition to that future for both appliance makers and home cooks. Fresco connects any compatible appliance, across brands so that users can focus on what they do best, preparing meals and are committed to building the best possible cooking experience.
From iPads and smart speakers to appliance screens and smart home assistants, Fresco delivers an effortless cooking experience and connects dots in the kitchen. Fresco partners with the appliance makers like BOSCH, Kenwood, Instant Brands, GE Appliances, Electrolux, LG, Thermomix and Panasonic and are growing fast.
Founded in 2012, Fresco currently operates globally and has offices in Dublin, Ireland, and Spain.
