OptiCept Technologies has established a strategic alliance with FPS Food Process Solutions Corp,. This partnership is geared towards collaborative efforts in the research, production, and commercialization of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) applications in the realm of solid food processing. Both partners have committed to actively engage in the promotion and advancement of OptiCept's PEF system designed for solid food applications.

The overarching objective of this alliance is to deliver an exceptional solution to global food producers, enhancing process efficiency and cost management across the spectrum of solid food types. Main application areas for the joint PEF solution are processed potato products, dried vegetables, fruit, herbs and frozen foods. Markets that are estimated to be jointly valued at EUR 279 billion annually.

OptiCept's PE F application for solid foods (JORD) will be further developed together with FPS. In the collaboration, OptiCept will deliver CEPT generators and FPS will deliver the system that handles and processes the products up to the PEF treatment. OptiCept retains ownership of the patented CEPT technology, but any newly developed technology, developed together and within the framework of the collaboration (solid foods) will be jointly owned.

Both parties will work actively with sales and development of the systems. Profit will be shared 50/50 according to the principle of "open books".
