THE ASEPT STORY:
Pioneers in Sealed Dispensing Systems
Since the mid-1980s, ASEPT has been at the forefront of developing sealed dispensing systems that prevent contamination and spoilage caused by open-container food systems. The combination of fitment and pump attached to air-free pouches, designed by a pair of Swedish entrepreneurs and inventors, became ASEPT’s signature feature. Their sealed dispensing system became the go-to solution for global food processors, restaurant chains and independents in the foodservice and personal care industries.

At ASEPT, we take pride in our commitment to quality and value, which has driven us to continuously refine our dispensing systems and pumps to meet the unique needs of our customers. Through strategic planning, acquisitions and R&D, we have expanded our expertise and strengthened the market positions of companies of all sizes, improving their safety, efficiency and environmental impact. Our long history of patented solutions and partnerships with leading players like Develey, Kraft Heinz Foods Company, Nestlé, Orkla, Schwartau, and Unilever demonstrates our dedication to providing innovative and sustainable solutions that benefit our customers and the planet.
