Our Story
Founded in 1997, PERFINOX is a Portuguese company specialized in the design, manufacture and integration of advanced process solutions for the food industry.
With decades of experience in process engineering, PERFINOX supports food manufacturers in developing, validating and implementing industrial processing solutions for a wide range of food applications. From standalone equipment to complete turnkey process plants, every solution is designed to deliver reliable performance, consistent product quality and efficient production.
Our portfolio includes technologies for mixing, cooking, thermal processing, homogenization, cooling, cleaning, automation and complete process integration. These solutions are developed to meet the specific requirements of each application, particularly for high-viscosity and demanding food products.
At the heart of our innovation is the PERFIPROCESS® Technology Center, where customers can develop new products, validate recipes, optimise processing parameters and evaluate production concepts under real operating conditions before industrial implementation. This collaborative approach helps reduce project risk, shorten development time and ensure greater confidence when scaling up production.
Engineering, manufacturing, automation and commissioning are carried out in-house, allowing PERFINOX to deliver fully integrated solutions with a single point of responsibility throughout the entire project lifecycle.
In 2024, PERFINOX became a member of the Krones Group, strengthening its position within a global network of companies specialized in process technology. This integration combines PERFINOX’s expertise in food processing with the complementary technologies and international presence of the Krones Group, providing customers worldwide with access to a broader portfolio of integrated process solutions and engineering capabilities.
Today, PERFINOX continues to support food manufacturers around the world, combining engineering expertise, process knowledge and industrial experience to develop reliable, efficient and tailor-made solutions for the evolving challenges of modern food production.
