Glucose syrup running from a spoon into a bowl

Starch syrup

Glucose syrup produced in Pelhřimov by hydrolysis of wheat or potato starch.

Wheat ears and grains

Wheat gluten

Wheat gluten obtained by mechanical separation from wheat flour.

Dried potato flakes

Potatoes are pre-cooked, dried on a drum dryer and the dried sheets are milled into flakes.

Modified starches made from potato starch

Modified starches based on potato starch are our speciality. They start from our own potato starch from the Highlands.

Potato starch offers high thickening power, a clear paste and neutral taste and odour. Modification adds what your application needs: tolerance to heat and acidity, stability in storage and freezing, cold thickening, or a cationic charge for papermaking.

From Highland potatoes

The Bohemian Moravian Highlands are a traditional potato growing and potato starch region. The first starch plants were founded here.

Being close to growers gives us access to quality raw material. We process potatoes at two plants, Pelhřimov and Chýnov. Our native starches are made mechanically, by physical processes and without chemicals.
