Maizena Corn Starch

Maizena is a globally recognized pantry staple specializing in corn starch. The brand was originally established in the United States in the mid-19th century by the Glen Cove Starch Manufacturing Company. Over the decades, it became a genericized trademark in many parts of the world for corn flour used in baking and thickening sauces.

Today, Maizena is owned by Unilever, one of the world's largest consumer goods companies headquartered in London. Production is decentralized to serve regional markets efficiently; products found in the Nordic region are often produced in European facilities (such as Germany or the Netherlands) though the supply chain can involve multiple international locations. The brand remains a central pillar of Unilever's food portfolio, maintaining high visibility across Europe and Latin America.
