Our story

TAMIA PACK®

A story born from a practical need

TAMIA PACK® was born from personal experience and reflection.

Its principal shareholder, ASUR Plant Breeding (a cereal breeder and seed producer based in the north of France), has been working for several years on innovative technologies to improve the efficiency of seed production processes, integrating societal, environmental, and regulatory requirements.

A research programme was launched in 2014 to address issues concerning seed conservation, with the ambition of finding the best way to preserve the germination quality of seeds during storage with lower energy costs.

Limiting energy expenditure during conditioning and storage is a commitment of TAMIA PACK® for both economic and environmental reasons.

Our process

Three areas of expertise

 

TAMIA PACK combines a set of complementary and recognised expertise: seed expertise, vacuum technology, and industrial equipment design.

This process was developed in the mid-2010s by the French seed company ASUR Plant Breeding, keen to be able to store seeds for long periods. Scaling up to an industrial level was made possible by integrating complementary know-how:

Expertise in vacuum technology and high-barrier packaging, already supplied to demanding industries such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics by our partner BERNHARDT.

Expertise in the design of filling stations, supported by our partners CONDICONCEPT and BERNHARDT.

Our approach

From research to market :

a fast-paced story

In less than five years, the TAMIA PACK® process has moved from an experimental stage to industrial proof, and then to the creation of a dedicated company. A look back at the key steps.

2014-2016: From experimentation to industrial proof

From 2014, trials aimed at improving seed conservation were initiated. In the spring of 2016, close to 6,500 tonnes of surplus seeds harvested were successfully vacuum-packed, providing immediate proof of the process's industrial capacity.

Additional benefit

The batches were marketed in 2019 with germination quality fully preserved. An additional benefit was also identified: the process naturally protects against insects and rodents, without insecticides or rodenticides, making it fully compatible with organic farming.

2019-2026: From the official creation of TAMIA PACK® to international recognition

Since its creation, TAMIA PACK has vacuum-packed more than
30,000 tonnes in a wide range of formats across multiple countries.

The benefits of the process are recognised by agricultural professionals and technical institutes.

    We have vacuum-packed numerous varieties in 25 kg bags using TAMIA Box equipment

    To ensure the preservation of our G1 and G2 seeds, we have vacuum-packed numerous varieties in 25 kg bags using TAMIA Box equipment. I greatly appreciated the team's professionalism during this service, as well as the ease of use of the machine. I look forward to seeing the results over the coming months.

    Seed station manager at SOUFFLET AGRICULTURE

    Our need was to preserve these seeds in the best possible conditions

    TAMIA PACK visited our Nogent sur Seine site to put over 400 tonnes of cereal and rapeseed seeds under vacuum, with sample collection to monitor the germination rate of all batches. Our need was to preserve these seeds in the best possible conditions, potentially for 2 or even 3 seasons, allowing us to optimise our seed production plans. Up to now, the seeds have been perfectly preserved, there are no additional 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 with a new vacuum-packed service of over 600 tonnes.

    At ASUR Plant Breeding, they work partly on high-value hybrid cereal seeds.

    At ASUR Plant Breeding, we work on high-value hybrid cereal seeds. The initial investment in vacuum packing is covered by maintaining germination rates and the absence of management costs related to pest control, as well as the absence of electricity costs compared to using a cold room. This storage method guarantees good preservation with no losses, and for several years if necessary. Our seeds are protected, particularly from moisture. A real added value!

  • Frédéric Guilbert

    Seeds Manager at VALFRANCE

    We have decided to preserve our organic seed stocks with the TAMIA PACK® process.

    Following our last campaign, we decided to preserve our organic cereal seed stocks using TAMIA PACK's vacuum process. Our aim was to limit losses related to storage, and therefore our financial losses, with a chemical-free technology. We were very satisfied with the service provided by TAMIA PACK at the end of November in our Verneuil l’Etang factory in Seine et Marne. Since then, our on-site team checks the condition of the vacuum-sealed big bags daily, and they haven't moved at all. This is a real confirmation of the value of this technology, which already allows us to have significant volumes of good quality seeds to launch the next production campaign early. I am a big fan of this innovation and spontaneously recommend it to my professional contacts.
