A New Chapter Built on Experience, Technology and Trust
Malmö, Sweden & Zwolle, Netherlands – June 8, 2026
Today marks official Day 1 when OctoFrost and HiTec become OctoCore.
Since HiTec became part of OctoFrost Group in 2025, we have been working closely together to combine our expertise, technologies and teams. What started as two strong companies with complementary capabilities has evolved into one shared vision: creating a stronger partner for the global food processing industry.
So now we are taking the next natural step and bringing everything together under one brand.
Why OctoCore?
The food industry is constantly evolving. Processors are looking for partners who can support larger parts of their production process, simplify decision-making and provide expertise across multiple technologies.
By becoming OctoCore, we unite our complete offering and knowledge under one name.
Together, we provide solutions for frying, cooking, grilling, blanching, chilling, freezing, oil filtration and complete processing lines.
Customers now have one partner with a broader portfolio, deeper expertise and stronger support throughout their production journey.
Simply Intelligent Food Processing
Our new brand promise, Simply Intelligent Food Processing, captures the way we approach technology and customer partnerships.
Intelligent reflects our deep industry knowledge, engineering expertise and continuous innovation. We develop technologies that help food processors improve quality, efficiency, yield and operational performance.
Simply reflects our belief that advanced technology should be practical, user-friendly and easy to integrate. Our goal is to make complex food processing challenges easier to solve through reliable solutions and expert support.
Together, these two words represent our commitment to delivering smart solutions that create real value for food processors around the world.
What Changes?
Our company name changes. From today, OctoFrost and HiTec operate under the new shared brand name OctoCore.
What Stays the Same?
The most important things remain unchanged.
- The same people
- The same production sites in Sweden and the Netherlands
- The same commitment to innovation and quality
- The same customer focus
- The same support and service
The relationships, expertise and trust we have built over the years continue exactly as before.
Stronger Together
OctoCore combines decades of experience in thermal processing and freezing technologies with a broader product portfolio and a shared ambition to help food processors succeed.
By bringing our expertise together, we can support customers with more complete solutions, deeper technical knowledge and a stronger global organization.
This is not the start of something completely new.
It is the next step in a journey that has already begun.
Looking Ahead
As OctoCore, we will continue investing in technology, innovation and customer support while expanding our ability to help food processors create high-quality products efficiently and sustainably.
We are excited about this next chapter and grateful for the trust our customers, partners and employees have placed in us.
