Avure Technologies, Franklin, Tenn., announced plans to relocate its global headquarters to Cincinnati. The new facility will house offices and an innovation center complete with new test kitchen, microbiology lab, high-pressure processing (HPP) center and a learning pavilion.

“We’ve made significant strides over the past few years to build upon our leadership in the HPP industry by positioning ourselves to better serve existing and new customers,” says Jeff Williams, chief executive officer. “It started with the development of new service programs designed to ensure customer performance requirements and maintenance goals. Now that we have that in place, as well as our new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility up and running in Middletown, Ohio, we’re proud to announce our plans to locate a new global headquarters in the Cincinnati area.”
