Avure Technologies is a true innovator and leader in the field of ultra-high-pressure solutions, which are utilised in a diverse range of industrial segments. Avure Technologies is the world’s leading supplier of hot and cold isostatic press solutions, fluid-cell sheet-metal forming presses, and high-pressure food-pasteurisation systems (HPP). It was the birthplace of the world’s first synthetic diamond, and today boasts a global network of customers using the company’s high-pressure solutions to increase their competitiveness and profitability.

Innovation and invention distinguish Avure from its competitors with the company creating the first systems to produce synthetic diamonds, employing pressures approaching 1 million psi (7,000 MPa). Avure also created the QUINTUS® wire-wound pressure vessel and frame, which is widely considered to be the safest and most reliable pressure-containment system ever designed.

Additionally, Avure was the first company to create commercially viable systems for the high-pressure removal of food-borne pathogens, substantially extending the shelf life of packaged foods without chemical additives or preservatives, and radically transforming the food industry’s procedures and processes.

Avure has been a prominent and influential player in the global sphere for decades. It can trace its roots back to the mid-1950s when ASEA in Sweden was among the first to commercialise the isostatic-pressure technology. Three decades later, ASEA became a part of ABB, which carried on the important work of the market development of isostatic- and sheet-metal-forming presses. In 1999, Flow International in the United States acquired ABB’s high-pressure business unit. This acquisition prompted Flow International to spearhead the expansion of high-pressure technology into the food-preservation market under the trade name of Avure.
