Our story

Our economic association was formed right back in 1927, to coordinate sales and develop production of potato starch. The association’s owners are farmers in southern Sweden, and they also supply our most important raw material – the starch potato. This robust ownership structure has allowed us to build a sustainable company with strong roots in Swedish farming.

From locally grown potatoes, we produce a range of products that add value for our customers and are exported all over the world. We’re enormously proud of the advances we’ve made since 1927. And we want to continue advancing, so the next generation of Swedish farmers can continue growing potatoes for starch.
