The company background is based on extensive research and development in company Nature Lyotech Oy by Dr.Sc Tech Miia Helanto and C.Ht Clin Henri Helanto for 10 years and to practical experience using their own freeze dryer machines for 8 years. Prototyping this new technology started in 2013 and they made programs for hundreds of products.
Extensive work revealed how freeze drying can be made much better to retain all valuable properties. After many tests, the optimal process was invented and it took still a couple of years to formulate findings to algorithms, which were later moved to artificial intelligence programs.
A new company FrostDry Oy was established 2021 to manufacture equipment at our factory in Hirvensalmi in Finland. We use best subcontractors to build components and we do final assembly and testing. The new machine can be put into operation very quickly and with minimal training as AI takes the biggest burden from the operator.
Hannu Tamminen has been involved with freeze drying since 2019 and takes care of marketing. His background is in software technology.
Joonas Ojala joined soon after and established the manufacturing site to Hirvensalmi. Besides being CEO of the company he is responsible for mechanics and assembly. He has extensive experience in manufacturing technology.
