OUR HISTORY
Three founders, one focus: gastro-robotics
JLP TECH began as a startup founded by three co-founders—Juan Luis, Federico, and Ángel—who have more than 20 years of combined experience in food tech, innovation, business, and investment. We’re not here to talk about the future; we’re here to develop technology that’s useful for day-to-day operations.
Our track record has been forged across Europe, the United States, and Latin America, working with brands and teams in real-world environments, under real pressure, and with a constant need to improve our operations. That blend of international vision and operational expertise is the foundation of what we are developing today at JLP TECH.

Operation First
Real-world hospitality industry know-how applied to specific problems, not just demos.
Engineering with Rigor (UPM)
Technical development with university support to enhance reliability, security, and scalability.
From Insight to Prototype
We turn operational friction into practical robotic systems
