Elea is continuously exploring new innovations and supporting customers in making PEF technology work for their products. Recently, we conducted a mushroom trial together with Fungtastic (André Ritscher, Achmed El-Etri, Jan Lukas Eßer), a company interested in evaluating the potential of PEF for their products.

This month, Elea Technology had the pleasure of welcoming 14 students from the Master’s program Food Process and Product Engineering (TiHo & DIL Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik e. V.) for a hands‑on practical course dedicated to exploring PEF applications.

We are pleased to share that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has confirmed the invalidity of the main claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,821,540, which related to electric‑field‑based pre‑processing methods for vegetables.

Last week, we were delighted to welcome Khemal Nugroho, owner of FRUTERS, to Elea for a long‑anticipated visit.

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming another group of students to Elea! This time, we hosted biology students from the Universität Osnabrück, accompanied by their professor, Dr. Christian Hertel.

Yesterday, we welcomed another potential customer, this time from North Africa, together with Sofien Zahra from our business partner, ScanStore A/S. The visit focused on the benefits of PEF technology for potato chips, including cost reduction, increased yield, improved colour control, and enhanced product quality.

This week, we were pleased to welcome an interested customer from China together with Sunny Wang from our valued business partner Lenno. Their visit focused on gaining a deeper understanding of PEF technology and its impact on quality and safety parameters in beverages — including hands‑on trials with their own products.

Last week, we were running another series of tests in our Pilot Hall as we take the next step forward in advancing PiCon. To ensure PiCon performs reliably under real production conditions, it’s essential that its AI is trained with a wide range of product varieties. Each trial brings us closer to a smarter, more robust, and more accurate inline quality control solution.

Today we hosted our first PEF Excitement Day where we invited the team of DIL Engineering GmbH to visit us in our headquarters!

The new year has just begun, and our Technical Sales Specialist, Sveva Cesari, is already in Italy visiting one of the wineries from the PEF Wine Tour 2025!

Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a fantastic start to 2026. Elea is back from the holiday break, and we’re ready to make this year even more innovative and impactful.

The year comes to an end, and we look back on a year filled with exciting developments and memorable milestones. We sincerely thank our business partners, customers, collaboration partners, and our whole team for contributing to such a successful year! We wish you a joyful holiday season and a fantastic start to 2026!
