CryoPasteurization® reduces microbial and mold contamination while killing pathogens.

AMAPS® (aseptic modified atmosphere packaging system) controls the environment in which the product is packaged, including ultra-low-oxygen systems to eliminate oxidation and other degradation.

Flavor injection that restores a product's natural aroma and taste.

Ultra-high-barrier materials protect against oxygen, moisture, and environmental exposure throughout the supply chain.
The platform protects product value at the points where safety, freshness, and package integrity can be lost.

Incoming products carry microbial, oxygen, moisture, and shelf-life risks.

CryoPasteurization® reduces targeted microbial contamination.

AMAPS®, sensory systems, and barrier materials create a protected package environment.

Longer shelf life, consistent quality, fewer losses, and a better consumer experience.
VIST was founded by packaging and processing industry pioneers, a leadership team with a combined 100+ years and hundreds of patents in modified-atmosphere packaging, shelf-life extension, and pharma-grade processing.
