HPP ATLANTIQUE

What HPP ATLANTIQUE does

HPP Atlantique is a French industrial subcontractor (tolling center) founded in 2015 in Saint-Crespin-sur-Moine near Nantes, operating the country's first commercial high-pressure cold pasteurization (HPP) service for packaged food products. The company applies hydrostatic pressure of 2,000 to 6,000 bars via two Hyperbaric machines installed in a 2,400 m² facility, with stated annual capacity of 6,000 tonnes. HPP inactivates pathogens such as Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli while preserving sensory and nutritional qualities, extending shelf life by 2-3x for seafood and up to 45-90 days for prepared meals, and enabling clean-label positioning and sea-freight export of fresh products.

The company generates revenue through three service streams: industrial HPP subcontracting on a quote basis per project, CIR-accredited R&D and product development services (including recipe optimization, shelf-life validation, packaging testing, and challenge tests), and post-treatment services such as C-labeling, cartoning, order preparation, and direct shipment to distributor platforms. Customers span multinational food groups to small local producers across seafood, meat, dairy, juices, baby food, petfood, sauces, and prepared meals. The company holds AB, MSC, ASC, IFS, veterinary services, and CIR credentials, and is privately held with founder Jean-Sébastien Tamisier as Président alongside co-founder Gwendal Lannou.

Broad incumbents

• Multivac: German manufacturer of food packaging and processing machinery, including HPP-capable systems. Serves meat, dairy, seafood, and ready-meal processors — the same food categories HPP Atlantique serves — but as a machinery vendor rather than tolling operator.
• Hiperbaric: World's leading HPP equipment manufacturer, headquartered in Spain, supplying the high-pressure machines used at HPP Atlantique. Hiperbaric also operates its own HPP tolling/in-pack service center, making it both supplier and potential competitor.
• JBT (John Bean Technologies): US-based global food processing technology provider with HPP systems via its Avure Technologies line. JBT serves broader food processing and packaging needs across multiple categories, overlapping with HPP Atlantique's domain.

Direct peers

• Pressurized Foods: Ireland-based HPP tolling service provider serving food manufacturers. Directly comparable to HPP Atlantique in business model (subcontracting HPP processing) and customer profile, though operating in a different European market.
• Foodiq: Finnish/Spanish food technology company operating HPP processing services for plant-based and alternative protein products. Comparable tolling business model to HPP Atlantique with similar R&D and product development capabilities.

Others

• Stansted Fluid Power: UK-based manufacturer of high-pressure processing equipment for food applications. Provides enabling technology to HPP tolling centers, complementary to HPP Atlantique's service business but addressing the equipment side of the value chain.
