Avebe and National Starch enter into alliance

National Starch Food Innovation and AVEBE enter into alliance for market development of specialty potato starches. 

National Starch will distribute AVEBE ingredients in the Americas and Asia. AVEBE will continue its direct sales presence in Europe and worldwide marketing of native and non-food potato starches.

The alliance will allow AVEBE to enhance market presence and penetration for its specialty potato starch products in regions that represent significant growth potential. It will also allow National Starch to complete its portfolio of starch-based ingredients, adding potato-based technology to its significant existing positions in corn, tapioca and other starches. 

The AVEBE/National Starch alliance also covers a comprehensive program of joint technology development of new ingredients based on potato starch, pairing two of the most innovative carbohydrate science companies in the world. It brings together the leaders in new starch-base hybrid development and experienced cross functional teams that have consistently shown the ability to introduce high value new ingredients that respond to market requirements. The goal of the joint technical development will be the introduction of new tailored starch-based ingredients to address the changing needs of food developers across the world.
