Cargill Starches and Sweeteners Europe provides wheat and wet corn milling products and services to Cargill’s go-to-market businesses. We produce an extensive range of starch-derived products including glucose and fructose-based sweeteners, native starches and more specialized, value-added polyol-based sweeteners, specialty sweeteners and modified starches. Nonstarch products include wheat proteins (mainly in the form of vital wheat gluten) and wheat- and corn-derived proteins, fibers and lipids (PFL).

In conjunction with Cargill Health and Nutrition, Cargill Starches and Sweeteners Europe markets sweetening ingredients to food customers in the confectionery, brewing, nonalcoholic beverage, dairy and ice cream, preserves and bakery market sectors. Nonfood ingredients are marketed to the pharma and personal care sectors. Native and specialty starches are marketed through Cargill Texturizing Solutions. Starch and sweetening products also are sold into the paper, corrugating and chemicals sectors and PFL products are sold to the feed industry.

More recently, starch-derived ethanols have been used largely for food and technical purposes. We operate plants and sales offices in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and United Kingdom. Additional sales offices in Scandinavia, the Baltic States, Hungary and United Arab Emirates serve those regions. Specialists in technology centers of excellence in Belgium and Germany develop new products and formulations that support customer development and maintenance activities. The business also provides a comprehensive range of supply chain services, including identity-preserved raw material sourcing, full quality and microbiological testing and other operational services.
