§ Private Profile · Raleigh, NC, USA
Food technology company licensing patented microwave-assisted thermal sterilization for food manufacturers, enabling shelf-stable foods.
Founded in 2006 by Josip Simunovic, Kenneth Swartzel, and Pablo Coronel, Aseptia is a Raleigh, North Carolina-based company originating from North Carolina State University research. The innovative firm develops and licenses patented microwave-assisted thermal sterilization and advanced aseptic food processing technologies. Its proprietary systems, such as AseptiWave, enable food and beverage manufacturers to produce shelf-stable liquid and particulate foods that can be stored at room temperature without requiring any chemical preservatives. To support its expansion, the enterprise raised $28 million in a Series C funding round backed by institutional investors including SJF Ventures and Lookout Capital. After initially operating its own contract manufacturing facilities, the business sold its Wright Foods subsidiary to AmeriQual Group to focus exclusively on technology licensing for major global consumer packaged goods clients like Dole Packaged Foods and Dannon.
