Deli24: UK Leader for Tolling Services with HPP Technology

Deli24 is a family-owned business founded in 2010 by Paul, Jeff, and their father Adolf. They are currently the premier company in the UK offering high-pressure processing (HPP) tolling services. With over 6,000 square meters of facilities, they operate three HPP machines, serving nearly 50 customers and processing more than 200 products. Their diverse product range includes meat, seafood, beverages, sauces, dips, avocado and vegetable-based items, dairy, and pet food.

Innovation and Food Safety: The Deli24 Approach

Recognizing an unmet need in the UK market, Deli24 acquired their first HPP equipment in 2010, pioneering the technology in the region. Now, after 14 years of experience and a multidisciplinary team of food technologists and engineers, Deli24 is well-positioned to assist customers in launching products and developing new concepts, leveraging the advantages of HPP technology.

HPP inactivates microorganisms and pathogens using high pressures (up to 6,000 bar) instead of high temperatures, ensuring food safety and extending shelf life by several weeks or months. This approach helps combat food waste and reduce preservative use while preserving the nutritional and organoleptic qualities of the products.

While HPP processing is Deli24's primary service, they also offer complementary solutions like storage, thawing, coding, and case packing to minimize transportation and maximize economies. In some cases, such as with Westfalia Fruit, Deli24 has developed collaborative relationships involving vertical integration, processing, and packaging whole avocados into ready-to-eat guacamole.

Driving Innovation in the UK HPP Market

Deli24's objective is to introduce and expand HPP technology in the UK food and beverage industry, with innovation as a key driver. The UK market is particularly innovative in HPP applications, and many of Deli24's projects focus on providing solutions for innovative ingredient uses through HPP, beyond simply extending shelf life.

Partnering with Hiperbaric for Excellence

Deli24 shares Hiperbaric's commitment to innovation, making their alliance a natural fit. Hiperbaric's high-quality, reliable, and efficient equipment, coupled with invaluable after-sales services and applications support, enables Deli24 to offer a reliable and competitive service to their customers.

Deli24 is optimistic about the future of HPP technology in the UK. Since embarking on this venture, they have had high hopes for its growth, and having become the leading provider of tolling services in the UK, they are confident that even greater opportunities lie ahead.
