Drytech – the producer of REAL Turmat
About us
REAL Turmat is made by Drytech, a northern Norwegian company in Tromsø with decades of experience in freeze-drying. The meals are made for everyone who lives life outdoors. From everyday hikers and campers to expedition teams and field professionals. The result is food that delivers energy, tastes good, and works in any conditions.
From Tromsø to the world.
Drytech is a food company in Tromsø specializing in freeze-drying. Since 1989 we have made long-lasting meals using our own freeze-drying method. How that works in practice, we have explained in the article [how freeze-dried food works].
Our primary customers are the Norwegian Armed Forces and the tour and expedition markets across more than 25 European countries. As the provider of field rations to the Norwegian Armed Forces – known as Arctic Field Ration – our vision has always been to give soldiers time and energy. Over the past decade that same vision has grown into the tour markets in Norway and Europe, under the REAL Turmat brand. We are proud that every REAL product is made in Northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle.
