Performance inspired by nature Achieve more with less
The perfection of nature is unrivaled. But with innovative technologies, we can use its raw materials to achieve results that effectively and sustainably support entire industries. That is what we do! We refine renewable, plant-based raw materials to get the most out of them. The results are functional solutions that manufacturers in the food, pet food, animal feed and paper processing industry can use to optimize their products and processes.
Crespel & Deiters is a sixth-generation, family-owned industrial company operating worldwide. At our production sites in Ibbenbüren, Germany and Helmond, the Netherlands.
Our work is based on long-standing experience in starch and protein refinement, combined with technological expertise and application-focused know-how by developing functional solutions that help replace conventional, non-renewable materials and enable efficient processes.
