Classica unveils new r&d programme

Classica Microwave Technologies has begun testing and product development projects for clients in its new state of the art laboratory facility in New Jersey, US.

In February, the Classica Group moved its corporate headquarters to the newly constructed 10,400 square foot facility where they have recently completed constructing and equipping CMT's 2,500 square foot state of the art testing laboratory. The laboratory is supported by a full commercial kitchen that is used for the preparation of food products for testing in one of the company's microwave heat processing systems.

The laboratory operates under the supervision of Joseph Riemer, president of Classica Microwave Technologies Dr. Riemer and his staff have received extensive training in the operation of the microwave heat processing systems from Engineer Giuseppe Ruozi, the Company's Chief Technical Officer and the inventor of the Company's patented processes.

"We are pleased to now be able to offer these services to our clients, which already include 'Fortune 50' global food manufacturing companies,"​ said Scott G. Halperin, The Classica Group's CEO. "We are confident that successful testing projects with our clients will result in the sale of custom designed commercial systems to many of them,"​ he added.

The company's microwave technology segment utilises microwave-based technology that aims to provide food manufacturers with the ability to deliver new and improved food products that are safe, convenient and of high quality.

The Classica Group designs and, through third parties, builds microwave heat processing systems capable of pasteurisation, sterilisation, sanitising, and drying in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The Company is also in the process of designing a technically advanced drying system that it anticipates will offer the meat industry the ability to process cured meats at a rate up to 10 times faster than the current methods being used.
