MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA (By Hyperbaric, 25.Nov.2025, Words: 222) — Hiperbaric, a global player in high pressure processing (HPP) technology, announces that Universal Pure, the largest independent provider of HPP and cold-chain services in North America, has installed an additional Hiperbaric 525i system for its Malvern, Pennsylvania facility.
This strategic expansion brings Universal Pure’s Malvern location to a total of 4 Hiperbaric 525i machines and increases the company’s nationwide HPP capacity to 23 machines across seven facilities.
HPP is a non-thermal food preservation method that uses high isostatic pressure — up to 6,000 bar (600 MPa or 87,000 psi) — to inactivate foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms.
By using cold water and pressure rather than heat or chemical preservatives, HPP extends shelf life and ensures food safety while maintaining fresh taste, texture, and nutritional quality.
The investment reflects strong growth across multiple product categories, including fresh pet food, premium proteins, dips and spreads, and beverages — segments that rely on HPP to meet food safety and distribution demands while maintaining clean-label freshness.
Universal Pure selected the Malvern, PA facility for this expansion due to its strong customer base, logistics connectivity, and growing demand from regional food producers in the Northeast. The facility offers a comprehensive suite of integrated services, including HPP, cold storage, packaging and secondary packaging, labeling and kitting, distribution, and other value-added services.
