Welcome to Empire Freezing & Drying

Quality products start with good manufacturing and a deep understanding of market trends.

At Empire Freezing & Drying, our mission has always been to provide customers with superior services, which include individual quick freezing (IQF), freeze drying, chocolate enrobing, powder processing, and more. Through our end-to-end solutions, from product conception to packaging, our experts can turn your vision into reality.

Although we officially started in 2018, we provide over 35 years of experience. Since then, we were able to bring customers on board and launch our first in-house brand Käze. We’ve also launched glucose products with large store chains and quadrupled our freeze drying capacity.
