AVEBE UA, founded in 1919, was at first a marketing and sales organisation for several independent Dutch potato starch co-operatives.
The word “AVEBE” is an abbreviation of Aardappelmeel Verkoop Bureau (Potato Starch Sales Office).
For several decades AVEBE focused on sales. However in the 1940s and 1950s, these factories, connected to AVEBE, began innovating by developing and producing special products (derivatives) based on potato starch. In 1971 AVEBE finally was no longer only a sales office, but the factories decided to integrate their production sites into this sales office. From that time on AVEBE was formally a production and sales organisation with several thousands of farmers attached to it. The main focus was on producing potato starch, but the research and development of modified starches became more and more important.
Since then the company has become more internationally active. Currently, AVEBE operates wholly-owned starch processing facilities in The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, France, the US, Brazil, China and Indonesia.
Nature
Nature invented starch, the world’s prime renewable resource. It’s an important food ingredient and the largest single energy source for humans. Starch is the third-largest input into the paper and board industry and it is used to create thousands of products that people all over the world use daily. It holds great potential for innovation.
Financial
AVEBE, a global starch company operating with 2,000 people in 20 countries, has four operating companies: AVEBE FOOD, AVEBE PAPER, AVEBE SPECIALTIES and AVEBE STARCH. Some key figures are given in Table 1. Due to several years of hampering results directly linked with the general performance of the European paper and board industry, AVEBE decided to make a commitment in 2004/05 to go through a major turnaround programme. The focus in this programme is even more on operational excellence and innovation.
