Pascal Processing
Pascal Processing is a Dutch food-processing service provider focused on High Pressure Processing (HPP), operating from the Food Tech Brainport campus in Helmond. The company presents itself as Europe’s first and most complete one-stop HPP address, serving both large and small national and international food producers. Its role is to help customers integrate HPP into their products and operations with as little friction as possible. Pascal Processing combines HPP treatment with practical support such as labeling, repacking, palletizing, storage, and order preparation, so finished products can move efficiently to customers and export markets. Core Values Food safety : A central promise is reducing risks from pathogens such as listeria, salmonella, and E. coli. The company positions HPP as a way to protect both products and brand reputation. Longer shelf life : Pascal Processing emphasizes extending chilled product shelf life, often by three to five times, to support better planning, less waste, and wider distribution. Customer relief : The company stresses total outsourcing and “complete unburdening,” aiming to make HPP simple for customers through expert guidance and operational support. Product quality : HPP is presented as a gentle preservation method that helps retain taste, texture, vitamins, and appearance better than heat-based methods. Unique Aspects Early European HPP specialist : Pascal Processing says it brought HPP to the Netherlands in 2011 and has since developed into a highly advanced HPP service provider in Europe. One-stop HPP model : Beyond processing, the company offers a bundled service model that includes logistics and fulfillment steps, reducing the need for customers to coordinate multiple suppliers. Export-enabling shelf life : The company highlights that longer shelf life can make refrigerated products suitable for longer-distance transport, including export to markets such as Russia and the Middle East. Industry and institutional engagement : Pascal Processing states that it regularly exchanges knowledge with the NVWA and European institutes, and it runs open days and webinars to educate the market about HPP and food safety.
