American Pasteurization Company Announces Expansion

SACRAMENTO - Milwaukee-based American Pasteurization Company (APC) announced it will open a second facility in Sacramento, Calif in December. 

The new facility will allow APC to accomodate rising demand for its full-service food testing, pasteurization, packaging and logistics solutions among food manufacturers across the country, and specifically those on the West Coast, APC said.

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is an increasingly popular method of treating food products using pressure, as opposed to traditional methods that rely on high temperatures, APC said. The process improves the shelf life of fresh food products without changing taste, texture or color and eliminates the need for many preservatives. 

The new 41,000 square-foot facility will be on Del Monte Street in West Sacramento, and will be able to accomodate up to five HPP production lines.

"With this expansion, we look forward to making HPP technology more available and accessible for companies looking to offer their customers fresh and safe, clean-labeled products," said Justin Segel, CEO, APC. "We guide our clients through every step of the process, from testing to shipping, making it simple and cost-effective for them to offer fresh food, free of preservatives."
