Celebrating 20 years of innovation

 

Hiperbaric recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, at which it announced the expansion of its facility in Burgos, Spain, alongside its latest innovation – Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) for post-processing metal parts with additive manufacturing.

 

The company began its journey in the field of high pressure in 1999 with the development of its first HPP (High Pressure Processing) equipment, a technology that employs high isostatic pressure (up to 6,000 bar) to extend the shelf life of food and guarantee food safety. Hyperbaric is today the world leader in this technology, thanks to its commitment to R&D through more than 20 innovation projects.

 

Hundreds of companies worldwide  use Hiperbaric equipment for the processing of juices and beverages, meat, fish and shellfish, fruits and vegetables, dairy and prepared dishes, demonstrating the highly versatile nature of the technology.

 

Headquartered in Spain, the company also has an office in Miami to serve its North American market. For more information, visit: www.hiperbaric.com
