Extending the Life of Heat: McCormick & PerMix during National Manufacturing Week

Behind every iconic bottle of hot sauce is a delicate balance of science, craft, and engineering. McCormick, the global flavor powerhouse behind brands like Frank’s RedHot, Cholula, and French’s, has long set the bar for consistency and quality in spicy condiments. But even the best sauces face a natural challenge in manufacturing: trapped air.

Tiny air bubbles may seem harmless, but in hot sauce production they accelerate oxidation, dull flavor, and shorten shelf life. Degassing—removing these bubbles after cooking and mixing—is critical to ensuring every bottle tastes as bold and fresh as the day it was made.

That’s where PerMix continuous deaerators come in. Engineered to handle high volumes with precision, PerMix systems strip out unwanted gas naturally, without chemical additives. For McCormick, this meant not just meeting strict quality standards, but exceeding them—delivering hot sauces that last longer on the shelf while staying true to their signature flavor profiles.

The trials and triumphs of hot sauce manufacturing reflect the spirit of National Manufacturing Week: innovation that solves real problems, engineering that protects brand integrity, and partnerships that make excellence possible. McCormick trusted PerMix to answer the call, and together, we’ve proven that even the smallest bubbles can make the biggest difference.
