Innovation Through Testing – The PERFIPROCESS Technology Center

To support product development and optimize processing solutions, PERFINOX operates the PERFIPROCESS Technology Center — a fully equipped industrial-scale testing facility. Here, clients can validate new recipes, fine-tune processes, and perform Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) in real production conditions. This unique approach minimizes risks, shortens project timelines, and ensures a smooth integration of equipment into existing facilities.

In 2024, PERFINOX joined the Krones Group — a global leader in processing, filling, and packaging solutions. This strategic integration reinforces PERFINOX’s position as a specialist in high-viscosity food processing and opens new avenues for growth in international markets. The collaboration combines PERFINOX’s expertise in tailored process systems with Krones’ global reach and complementary technologies, expanding our product portfolio and enhancing the value we deliver to customers worldwide.

From concept to commissioning — PERFINOX delivers process solutions built for the future.
