Hiperbaric, Sunrise Partnership Expands East Coast Manufacturers’ HPP Access

November 4, 2025

Hiperbaric has partnered with Sunrise Logistics Inc. to introduce a high-pressure processing (HPP) tolling service integration within Sunrise's chain operation in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The partnership includes the installation of a Hiperbaric 525 system, set to begin operations in the beginning of 2026, providing East Coast food and beverage manufacturers with advanced HPP capabilities alongside Sunrise's full-service logistics and distribution infrastructure.

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, HPP extends shelf life and ensures food safety while maintaining fresh taste, texture, and nutritional quality.

As a post-packaging technology, HPP can be applied to a wide range of products including ready-to-eat (RTE) meats, juices, fruit and vegetable purées, guacamole, dips and wet salads, prepared meals, seafood, and pet food, enabling manufacturers across multiple categories to benefit from enhanced food safety and extended shelf life without compromising quality.

The 453,077 square-foot facility in Ephrata features 360,000 square feet of combined cold storage space and houses extensive value-added capabilities including 89 dock doors, 21 ripening rooms capable of conditioning up to 650 pallets of bananas or avocados at a time, net bagging machines, flow-wrap and over-wrap machines, grading lines and product sorting, and date coding and retail-ready packing capability.

The Hiperbaric 525 system can process up to 8,000 pounds of product per hour, enabling Sunrise to support both high-volume and boutique production runs. Customers will benefit from a fully integrated, one-stop solution that combines HPP tolling, co-manufacturing, packaging, labeling, cold storage, and logistics support—including full truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL), refrigerated and frozen freight solutions, with same- and next-day delivery capabilities through Sunrise's fleet and shared delivery network.

With the installation of the Hiperbaric 525 system, Sunrise Logistics joins the Hiperbaric HPP Global Tolling Network, expanding access to advanced food safety and freshness solutions for manufacturers across the East Coast and beyond.
