About ProSeed

Turning advanced microwave technology into industrial performance.

ProSeed develops advanced microwave processing solutions that help industrial customers dry, treat, and transform materials more efficiently.

We combine deep engineering expertise with practical industrial execution to develop systems that can move from laboratory validation to reliable, scalable operations. Our work focuses on high-value and technically demanding applications, where conventional thermal processes can be energy-intensive, slow, or difficult to control.

From material trials to industrial validation.

Our pilot facility in Martigny lets customers test their own material under process conditions relevant to their operation, from small benchtop trials up to continuous runs at industrial scale.

Equipment on site spans 3 kW to 150 kW, backed by analytical laboratories and process modelling and simulation capabilities for material characterisation, process development, and performance validation.
