The Beurer Group has announced the integration of steam and vacuum sterilization and roasting technology from Naparost AG (Switzerland). By adding Naparost's steam vacuum sterilization technology to our comprehensive product portfolio, we will become a unique one-stop solution provider in the nut processing sector. The company's sterilization technology demonstrates a high pathogen reduction effect of over 5 log for nuts, seeds, and low-moisture foods in general. It uses saturated steam to safely and effectively raise the surface temperature of products under partial vacuum, while also preserving quality, color, flavor, and texture. Additionally, we have fully renovated the Flavor Creation Research and Training Center at our Swiss headquarters, establishing a unique facility where the entire process, including sterilization equipment, can be tested and trained. We plan to begin trial operations at this center in August 2025, with the first special training session and facility opening scheduled for November.
