Innovation by nature since 1911
At Royal Avebe, we unlock the full potential of the potato. As a cooperative with over a century of expertise, we develop high value ingredients for food, feed and industrial applications. Driven by nature, powered by innovation, and rooted in close collaboration with our members, we create solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future.
Markets
Some see potato, we see potential!
We develop our own potato varieties, giving us full control over the characteristics of our products: pure potato starch and potato protein.
Food
Deliver what consumers truly want: natural and affordable food products. Avebe’s potato-based ingredients don’t force a trade-off between quality and cost. Our starch and protein ingredients offer outstanding functionality and fit smoothly into existing formulations and processes. Plant-based sourcing keeps costs predictable and supply chains reliable giving you the freedom to improve textures, reduce fat and optimise recipes.
Industrial
Avebe extracts everything from the potato, producing 100% natural and vegetable-based ingredients. Thanks to a century of experience, we raise the bar, improve quality, and minimise environmental impact. Our clients in construction, paper, adhesive, and textiles all benefit from Avebe’s focus on a sustainable future as well as our commitment to quality, safety, and useability.
Animal nutrition
Whether you’re formulating for pets or farm animals, the pressure is the same: meet high nutritional standards for increasingly discerning end consumers. Avebe’s potato-based starches and proteins are produced from non-GMO starch potatoes through a fully controlled supply chain. We deliver ingredients that are consistent, safe and sustainably sourced from cooperative farm to certified factory.

“Traditional synthetic adhesives are typically fossil-based, hard to break down, and incompatible with compostable packaging standards. Luckily, there’s a solid alternative to synthetic adhesives — one that’s biodegradable, food-safe, and cost-effective. If you want to go fully green, you need potato starch.”

News
Sustainability and recyclability within packaging are growing challenges for consumers and decision-makers in the packaging industry. Often it is not 100% biodegradable and compostable due to the adhesive of packaging materials. Here’s where we come into play with our Solvitose Greenmelt. This biodegradable alternative for hotmelt adhesives contributes to a 100% compostable or biodegradable paper packaging.

Foamed liquorice presents one of the most demanding conditions in confectionery processing. Liquorice is inherently high in salt, which actively disrupts the foaming and gelling behaviour of gelatin, causing instability in the final product and limiting shelf life.
