KMC

KMC supplies potato-based ingredients - of the highest quality and with documented provenance - to food industry clients throughout the world.

KMC is a cooperative owned by Danish starch-potato farmers. For more than 80 years, they have been growing, developing, and producing potato-based ingredients for the global food industry – serving more than 80 countries across the globe.   

In 1933, the Danish state decided that Denmark should produce its own potato starch to meet the country’s needs. This led to the formation of KMC (then “Kartoffelmelcentralen”), which was given the task of selling the combined production of seven Danish potato starch factories which had been granted a concession from the Danish state.

In a very short number of years, KMC has succeeded, for example, in gaining footholds in China, which is now one of KMC’s largest markets. KMC has gone from mainly selling potato starch in Denmark to now exporting more than 90 percent of its production.
