OptiCept launches validation project with leading juice producer in Vietnam

OptiCept Technologies has signed an agreement with one of Vietnam’s largest food companies to validate the CEPT^® technology for juice extraction. The project includes a fee-based testing period during which the CEPT^® application will be integrated into the customer’s production lines for pineapple and passion fruit juice.

This initiative marks an important step in OptiCept’s strategic expansion in Southeast Asia and strengthens the company’s position in the global juice segment. During the third quarter of 2025, an OPTICEPT^® LJ7 unit is planned to be installed at the customer’s facility in Vietnam. The goal is to demonstrate the technology’s ability to increase extraction yield and improve product quality.

“We see great opportunities in the region, and this collaboration confirms our ambition to grow in the Southeast Asian market. We already have very strong results for pineapple and see significant potential in passion fruit as well, which is a more technically challenging raw material. Taking these results from lab scale to industrial scale is an important step forward,” says Thomas Lundqvist, CEO of OptiCept Technologies.
