APC is the first company in the United States to offer HPP on a commercial tolling basis. This arrangement is extremely beneficial to customers because, once pre-packaged foods are received from customers and treated, the products can be custom labeled, packed and shipped directly from APC's USDA-inspected facility to end-users. Moreover, recent advances in pressure equipment have significantly lowered the cost of use. To date, APC has successfully processed more that 150 million pounds of food products for more than 45 separate food processors. APC is located in Milwaukee, and because it does not manufacture food (it only makes food safer), the company does not compete with its customers.
