« We have called on TAMIA PACK in 2020 and 2021 to vacuum seal organic wheat seeds at the Soissons plant (high added value products). The efficiency of this technology has been proven both on the conservation of the seed in terms of germinative faculty but also on the preservation of the seed against storage pests. Vacuuming flow rates are fast, and unpacking is done in completely safely. »
Michael Gautron
Industrial and Quality Manager at EUROSEM
« In January 2021, TAMIA PACK came to our site in Nogent sur Seine to put more than 400T of cereal and rapeseed seeds under vacuum, with samples taken to control the germination capacity of all the lots. Our need was to preserve in the best conditions these seeds, potentially over 2 or 3 campaigns, allowing us to make savings by reducing our seed production plans. So far, the seeds are perfectly preserved, there are no extra storage costs and the logistics with 1200kg big bags are very easy to manage. We are so satisfied that we have renewed our trust in TAMIA PACK for 2022 with a new vacuum service of more than 600T. »
François Grenot
Seed Station Manager at SOUFFLET AGRICULTURE
We have been using the vacuum preservation technology for several years in selection. The advantage of this technology is that we can preserve the batches for more than 5 years, which allows us to spare a generation of maintenance. Thus, we only reseed every 4 years instead of every 2 years. The seeds are very well protected from insects and the conservation of the germinative faculty is very good: as a proof we still have here some bags of the 2016 harvest which still germinate very well. TAMIA PACK’s vacuum technology allows us to:
- Spare time and resources. Think about all the time saved between a half-day of bagging vs several days to sow, cultivate, protect, purify, harvest several different micro plots
- To be free of climatic risks
- To eliminate the risks caused by insects
- To preserve the variety by decreasing the generations of maintenance
- To feel confident
Séverin Gourdin
Technician in conservation breeding at ASUR PLANT BREEDING
« After the last campaign we decided to preserve our stocks of organic cereal seeds with the vacuum process of TAMIA PACK. Our need was to limit storage losses, and therefore our financial losses, with chemistry-free technology. We were very satisfied with the TAMIA PACK service provided at the end of November in our Verneuil l'Etang plant in Seine et Marne. Since then, our on-site team has been checking on a daily basis the hold of the big-bags that have not moved since they were vacuumed. This is a real confirmation of the interest of this technology, which already allows us to have large volumes of good quality seeds to start the next production campaign early. I am very "fan" of this innovation and spontaneously recommend it to my professional entourage. »
Frédéric Guilbert
Seed Production Manager, VALFRANCE
« At ASUR Plant Breeding, we work in part with high-value hybrid grain seeds. The initial vacuuming investment is covered by the maintenance of germination and the absence of management costs related to the control of insects and the absence of electricity costs compared to the use of a cold room. This storage method guarantees us good conservation without loss and over several years if necessary. Our seeds are protected, especially from moisture. Real added value! »

« The SAFET'HY process brings a lot of flexibility.It allows the production line to be supplied regularly and easily as needed.This conservation technology thus facilitates the management manufacturing while clearly preserving the seed quality. »
Emmanuel Radière
Site Plant Manager, EUROSEM
« Spearheading easy-to-use vacuum technology, the Tamia Pack team is distinguished by its professionalism, creativity and sympathy. How lucky for us breeders to be able to keep our younger generations in 1.2 t vacuum sealed big-bags or 25 kg bags for several years safe from insects and rodents! For 5 years, the Tamia Pack process has enabled us to store 350 t / year under vacuum without the use of a cold room. Thank you to them for their services and all my development wishes around the world. »

« I think it's a good innovation that has a mobile function. Why not also offer it to our members, for small batches or set up the process on a factory. »
Anne-Sophie Jouvenet
Operation Manager at COCEBI (Organic farming cooperative)
« In order to guarantee the preservation of our G1 and G2 seeds, we have vacuum-packed many varieties in 25 kg bags with the TAMIA Box equipment. I really appreciated the professionalism of the team during this service, as well as the ease of use of the machine. I look forward to seeing the result over the next few months. »
Clément Chabot
Site Manager, RAGT
« TAMIA PACK came to carry out a vacuum sealing service with its mobile platform in May 2020. Twelve months later the big-bags are still perfectly vacuum-packed, which is a great satisfaction. This new SAFET’HY process provides a real solution for the preservation and management of our seed stocks, especially since the limitation of storage insecticides. »
Patrick Beauvois
Seed Production Manager at TERRE ATLANTIQUE
« This year, we carried out the vacuum packing with TAMIA PACK of our carry-over stocks of certified organic seeds. The interest was obvious to us for two main reasons: • The preservation of the germination faculty • the protection against storage insects We believe that the cost versus the value of a certified organic seed is a profitable operation. »
Gilles Lachambre
Director of EUROSEM
« The SAFET'HY process is an effective means of controlling insects. Thanks to it I was able to protect my seeds without risk of downgrading. »
Thomas Bourgeois
President of FNAMS (French Seed Growers Union) and organic farmer
« The TAMIA PACK team came to carry out a vacuum packing service for several hundred tonnes of seeds, on several species in our factory in Nogent-sur-Seine. I really appreciated the professionalism of this young team and I find this new technology very interesting. To follow and encourage. »
