TianBa Process Equipment

What TianBa Process Equipment does

TianBa Process Equipment (also doing business as TianBa Process Systems) is a privately held, founder-operated manufacturer of thermal treatment processing systems for the liquid food industry, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with primary manufacturing in Tianjin, China, and a sales contact in Brazil. The company designs, engineers, and delivers HTST pasteurization, UHT aseptic sterilization (tubular, plate, and direct steam injection/infusion), and HHST ultra-pasteurization equipment, alongside hygienic tanks, aseptic tank systems, and clean-in-place (CIP) skids, bundled with its branded ProcessEasy™ automation and production management platform built on industry-standard PLC hardware with open architecture.

Its customer base consists of enterprise dairy, beverage, and food-processing manufacturers globally, including named engagements with Aice Indonesia (ice cream and yogurt turn-key plant), Yamasa (soy sauce pasteurization), and So Good Food (chocolate UHT milk). Sales are conducted exclusively via direct enterprise field sales with custom-engineered, quote-based pricing; no indirect channel partners, resellers, or distributors are identified.

The business operates three revenue streams: (1) capital equipment sales of custom thermal processing systems and supporting components, (2) turn-key project services spanning process design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning, and (3) recurring after-sales support including preventive maintenance, replacement parts, repair services, system upgrades, on-site training, and technical support. The company's installed base exceeds 250 systems across the United States, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and China, supported by compliance with 3A, CHEDG, FDA, USDA, PMO, ISO 9001, ASME, UL, and CE standards. No revenue, funding, parent company, or institutional ownership details are publicly disclosed.
