KMC (Kartoffelmelcentralen) Potato Starch

KMC, which stands for Kartoffelmelcentralen, is a prominent Danish cooperative specializing in the production of potato-based ingredients for the global food industry. Since its foundation in 1947, the brand has grown into a world-leading supplier of potato starch, proteins, and specialty fibers, serving as a vital link between Danish potato farmers and international food manufacturers.

The brand's production is deeply rooted in Denmark, where it operates several large-scale factories that process potatoes grown by its member farmers. This localized supply chain ensures high quality and traceability from the field to the final ingredient. KMC's portfolio includes everything from basic potato starch to advanced food texturants used in plant-based meats, dairy alternatives, and snacks.

Ownership of KMC remains within the cooperative model, being owned by the Danish potato starch factories and the thousands of farmers who supply them. This structure ensures that the profits and strategic direction of the company remain focused on the long-term sustainability of the Danish potato industry. It continues to be headquartered in Brande, Denmark, maintaining its heritage while expanding its technological capabilities into the future.
