Daymer Ingredients to Distribute Danish AKV Premium Potato Starches in the UK

A deal has been reached by Danish potato ingredients manufacturer AKV and British ingredients supplier Daymer Ingredients for the sale of Daymer’s native and clean-label functional potato starches in the UK.
Daymer’s emphasis on providing food makers with natural and sustainable ingredients, such as fibers, starches, malt extracts, proteins, flours, and gums, is highlighted by this new relationship.
AKV’s Clean & Simple range of potato starches meets food manufacturers’ demands for clean-label, functional ingredients that can withstand demanding processing conditions. Its Premium Potato Starch, developed using an energy and water-efficient process, offers one of the highest peak viscosities in the starch industry, making it very well suited to soups, noodles, extruded products, meat, sauces, cheese processing, and dry mixes. The farmer-owned cooperative offers full traceability, with all of its raw materials grown within 60km of its plant.
“We’re thrilled to welcome AKV as our latest supply partner and know that our customers will be keen to incorporate its high-quality potato starches into their products. We continue to seek out the best partners who share our commitment to bringing the most sustainable, natural, and planet-friendly ingredients to the UK food and beverage market. With AKV’s industry-recognized background in potato ingredients, we look forward to exploring new ways to tackle functionality through clear labels and native starches,” James Brace, Managing Director of Daymer Ingredients commented.
Bjarne Larsen, Chief Commercial Officer, AKV added that Daymer Ingredients is the right partner to take the company’s homegrown, value-added potato starch ingredients to the UK.
“British consumers want clean labels and sustainably sourced ingredients and together, we are well placed to help food manufacturers to meet those needs. We look forward to a fruitful partnership!” Larsen added.
Earlier this year, Daymer announced a strategic partnership with Agrain, the Danish specialist in up-cycled spent grain ingredients designed to elevate the quality and sustainability of baked goods.
