Innovative High Pressure Processing Facility Launch
Hiperbaric, a leader in High Pressure Processing (HPP) technology, has partnered with Sunrise Logistics, Inc. to establish a revolutionary tolling facility. This new installation features a state-of-the-art Hiperbaric 525 system, designed to streamline HPP services, co-manufacturing, packaging, and logistics. This integrated hub will serve food and beverage manufacturers, augmenting their production capabilities with the latest advancements in food technology.
Advanced HPP Solutions for Food Safety
The new facility, set to be operational in early 2026, aims to bolster food safety while extending the shelf life of products. High Pressure Processing uses isostatic pressure—up to 6,000 bar (about 87,000 psi)—to eliminate foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. By utilizing cold water and pressure instead of heat, HPP ensures that products maintain their fresh taste, nutrition, and texture.
Wide Range of Applications
HPP technology is versatile and can be applied to a variety of products including ready-to-eat meats, juices, dips, seafood, and even pet food. This capability allows producers from diverse industries to enhance their product safety and longevity without sacrificing quality, making it a vital tool in today’s food processing landscape.

Known for their mission of "Helping Others Succeed in Fresh," this partnership marks a significant step forward for the company. With nearly 20 years of experience in cold chain logistics, Sunrise is well-equipped to manage the challenges associated with HPP operations.
Impressive Facility Features
The facility spans 453,077 square feet and includes about 360,000 square feet of cold storage. It boasts advanced capabilities such as 89 dock doors, 21 ripening rooms that can handle up to 650 pallets of fruits like bananas and avocados simultaneously, as well as various packaging and labeling technologies. This infrastructure will significantly enhance the efficiency of food storage and distribution.
Integration of Cutting-Edge Technology
The Hiperbaric 525 is one of the most advanced HPP systems available, capable of processing up to 8,000 pounds of product each hour. This high capacity enables Sunrise Logistics to accommodate both large-scale and boutique production needs, providing an all-in-one solution encompassing HPP tolling, co-manufacturing, and logistics support, including same- and next-day delivery options.
