Company Policy
Customer satisfaction is our #1 priority. Our customers value the high quality of our products and services, our spotless reliability and our flexibility. Our in-house innovation department and numerous cooperation with academia assure fast conversion of customer requirements into new products. With an open communication about food safety policies and responsibilities to ensure food safety and – hygiene a food safety culture is established that guarantees the production of safe products.
It remains our challenge - year by year, harvest by harvest - to convert a regional raw material with fluctuating availability to high-end quality products for our customers. It all starts with taking care of our contractual growers, continues with the quality control of incoming potatoes, in -line controls during production all the way to the final quality check of finished goods before shipping to customers. The management systems IFS Food, QS and DIN EN ISO 9001 help us for reaching our targets in these areas. We also manufacture halal-compliant and kosher starch products to serve international markets.
