Denmark · Owned by Danish potato growers
KMC is a Danish cooperative founded in 1933 and based in Brande. It is owned entirely by Danish potato growers, who supply the potatoes it processes. The company specialises in using potatoes to give food and feed products specific textures and functions, and its ingredient range includes native and modified potato starches, cold-swelling starches, flakes and granules, and potato protein. It exports these ingredients to more than 90 countries.
Its customers are manufacturers rather than farms: makers of snacks, confectionery such as gummies and liquorice, sauces, dressings and soups, bakery goods, pasta and noodles and plant-based cheese alternatives, as well as feed and petfood producers. Potato starch can thicken, gel and build texture, so the right ingredient depends on the job it has to do. Manufacturers usually trial an ingredient under their own production conditions and compare inclusion rate, processing tolerance, labelling and total formulation cost.

KMC reports exports to more than 90 countries and is 100% owned by Danish potato growers.
