Unis Technology

What Unis Technology does

UNIS Technology Ltd. is a privately held Canadian-headquartered designer, manufacturer, and global distributor of arcade and amusement machines, in continuous operation since 1994 from its Ontario base. The company develops and builds its products at a manufacturing facility in Zhongshan, China, shipping globally under EX Works incoterms, and maintains sales offices in Anaheim, Hong Kong, and Zhongshan with distributor coverage extending into Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia.

Its product portfolio comprises approximately 100 active SKUs across prize/merchandise cranes (e.g., Toy Box Mega Claw, Vortex Duo/Max, Claw Express Cube), redemption games (e.g., Pickleball Rivals, Hoopz, Ski Hero, Monster Kart, Spin City Twin, BIGFOOT Smash), arcade racers (Turbo Nova, Neon Rush Twin, Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome Rush), cooperative shooters (Raccoon Rampage 2P), kiddie rides (Super Wings), and carnival games (Dino Storm, Carnival Shot). Technical differentiators include proprietary LCD-synchronization across linked cabinets, motion-platform hardware (pivoting ski platforms, vibrating racing seats, raft-shaped motion bases), adjustable operator controls exposed via dedicated apps, and card-reader-ready payment integrations. A substantial portion of the portfolio is anchored on licensed entertainment IP — including emoji™, BIGFOOT®, Fast & Furious, Cyberpunk 2077, Super Wings, and Piñata Smashlings — which produces recognizable, branded draw on the arcade floor.

Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales to operators via regional direct-sales teams and distributors; recurring parts and service revenue through unispartsandservice.com and dedicated international support channels; and, more recently, location-based royalties and operator economics from emojiplanet™ branded family entertainment centers, with the first North American site opened at Tsawwassen Mills, BC in January 2026. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base is horizontal — arcade and FEC operators and route operators as primary, with bowling centers and retail venues as secondary — implying a fragmented SMB customer base with a single recently established enterprise reference point in the emojiplanet vertical.
