EMSLAND Starch Facility in Kyritz
With over 150 years of history, the potato starch plant in Kyritz is one of the oldest in Europe. The plant has been part of the Emsland Group since 1991.
With a starch modification ratio of approx. 60%, a large proportion of the native potato starch is converted into high-quality starch modifications, which are also the basic material for the production of starch blend products at the plant. Within the Group, the Kyritz plant has developed into an important location for the production of starch products for the food industry and supplies customers worldwide. Furthermore, valuable components of the potato, such as fibres in wet and dry form, are obtained and fruit and process water are used for agricultural purposes due to their fertilizing value.
New investments in recent years include the evaporation plant, dextrin plant and potato washing unit.
