OptiCept Technologies AB (publ) is a Swedish FoodTech and PlantTech company specializing in the development and commercialization of patented technology platforms designed to improve processing of organic materials across food and plant industries. The company's primary products are based on two core technology systems: CEPT®, which utilizes Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology for enhancing extraction yield, quality, and reducing waste in solid and liquid foods such as olive oil, juice, potatoes, and wine; and OPTIBOOST®, which employs Vacuum Infusion (VI) technology for treating plant products including cut flowers and forest cuttings to improve quality and viability. OptiCept's solutions enable producers to optimize performance, increase sustainability, and maximize output in global markets. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lund, Sweden, the company serves customers internationally, including strategic projects and partnerships in Southern Europe, South Africa, Thailand, Costa Rica, and Spain.
Recent major developments include the refinancing of loans totaling approximately SEK 38.9 million and the establishment of a SEK 10 million credit facility to strengthen working capital and support ongoing commercialization efforts. In 2024, OptiCept successfully completed a rights issue raising SEK 56.3 million to fund expansion and technology development. The company has signed rental agreements and commercial collaborations with world-leading juice and olive oil producers and expanded projects with major agriculture and food industry players. Patent applications have been submitted to reinforce the company's intellectual property portfolio, particularly in vacuum impregnation technologies for cuttings. These strategic financial and operational moves support OptiCept's continued global commercial growth phase focused on enhancing process profitability, resource efficiency, and sustainability in its target markets.
