15 YEARS OF THE ECOGRILL BRAND:
From a Family Idea to Global Success

 

Fifteen years ago, in a small workshop in Užice, we began with a vision of the ideal grill—one that would solve the everyday challenges of a restaurant kitchen. Today, we proudly celebrate 15 years of a brand that has become a standard in professional kitchens in over 30 countries.

A Solution Born from Experience

The EcoGrill brand was established within the family-owned company Okpiro d.o.o., founded in 1988 in Uzice by the Vujic family. Initially specializing in electrical equipment manufacturing, the company’s passion for gastronomy and technical expertise led to the creation of EcoGrill.

Finding the
Perfect Grill

The company’s founder, Mr. Borivoje Vujic, worked with various types of grills in his restaurant. Facing challenges such as harmful smoke, complex handling, and energy inefficiency, he recognized the need for a grill that could overcome these issues.

Healthy Living Urban Grill

EcoGrill Home was meticulously crafted to align with market needs and the lifestyle of modern families and food enthusiasts who appreciate authentic grilled flavors in their own homes.

Why Eco?

Ecological

From the beginning, the goal was to eliminate the need for charcoal in professional kitchens, reducing harmful emissions and promoting cleaner air quality. Additionally, its stainless steel components are fully recyclable, contributing to sustainability and reducing waste.

Economical

The food is grilled directly on the heating elements, maximizing energy efficiency and ensuring that the grill operates with minimal energy consumption while delivering optimal performance.
