BRACE and Shanghai Toffon Join forces
BRACE and Shanghai Toffon Join Forces to Redefine Freeze-Drying and Instant Product Manufacturing
A new technology partnership combines advanced droplet processing with state-of-the-art freeze-drying to create highly efficient turnkey production solutions for global markets
Karlstein/Shanghai, September 13, 2026 — Two complementary technologies are coming together to create a new generation of production solutions for instant products any beyond.
BRACE and Shanghai Toffon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Toffon”) have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement covering freeze-drying technology, instant product manufacturing, equipment sales, engineering, service, and long-term customer support with manufacturing sites in Germany and China under strictest quality control of the highest possible standards.
At the heart of the partnership is a powerful technological combination:
BRACE patented droplet technology + Toffon freeze-drying technology = integrated turnkey production solutions.
Together, the companies are building a platform designed to serve customers internationally while providing the local support required for complex industrial projects.
“We are not simply combining two technologies. We are combining two areas of expertise to create a completely new way of approaching instant product production,” said Dr. Christian Augustin, Managing Director of BRACE.
Mr. Frank Feng, CTO of Toffon emphasized, that “Our goal is to give customers access to integrated production solutions that combine product quality, process control, energy efficiency, international engineering standards, and reliable local support.”
The companies will jointly develop and build freeze-drying systems designed for the demanding requirements of the European, American, and international markets, while BRACE will assume responsibility for sales, service, maintenance, and customer support throughout Europe and the Americas.
Manufacturing sites in Germany and China will provide best service for local customers, but also offer globally the choice of origin – providing the most outstanding and strictest standards both worlds provide. Only the best – always the best.
The ambition is clear: to bring together advanced technologies, international engineering expertise, and local customer support to create high-performance production systems for the next generation of instant products.
From Individual Machines to Complete Production Concepts
The market for instant products is evolving rapidly.
Consumers and manufacturers are looking for products that combine convenience, premium quality, excellent reconstitution, product integrity, and increasingly efficient production processes.
Meeting these demands requires more than a single piece of equipment. It requires the intelligent integration of the entire process.
This is where the BRACE–Toffon partnership comes in.
BRACE’s droplet-generation technology enables the controlled formation of product droplets, while Toffon contributes its expertise in industrial freeze-drying technology.
By integrating these technologies, the partners are creating the basis for complete production concepts in which key process steps are engineered to work together from the outset.
The result is a new approach to turnkey manufacturing:
One integrated process concept. One technology partnership. One complete production solution.
From process engineering and equipment design to installation, commissioning, service, maintenance, and ongoing technical support, customers can access a comprehensive solution designed around their specific product and production requirements.
About Shanghai Toffon
Shanghai Toffon Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in freeze-drying technology, equipment engineering, and manufacturing. The company develops freeze-drying systems and related solutions for industrial applications and international markets.
