AEB's growth in the aseptic food and beverage packaging markets has been highlighted in several recent articles. Food Production Daily discusses AEB in a recent article titled "Savings could accrue from electron beam decontamination," which focuses on the sustainability and cost savings being realized by companies adopting cold, dry electron beam sterilization methods.
Packaging Strategies, in their most recent newsletter, details AEB's work with the University of Reims in France and the downstream potential gains for the food packaging industry based off of the fundamental research being performed at the University.
