Crespel & Deiters is specializes in the innovative refinement of renewable, plant‑based raw materials – starches and proteins – into natural, functional solutions that help our customers in various industries to improve performance, efficiency and sustainability of their end products or production.

Nature. Refined.
Since 1858.

Crespel & Deiters expertise in refining renewable plant-based raw materials into functional starches, proteins, and adhesives, using advanced technologies to deliver high-performance solutions for food, corrugated board, pet food, and feed industries, improving product quality, process efficiency, and total cost-in-use across diverse applications.

Functional solutions across industries

We refine what nature provides – primarily wheat – into high‑performance ingredients and adhesives for food and technical industries. Using advanced refining technologies such as extrusion, starch modification, protein hydrolysis, fermentation and blending, we turn renewable, plant‑based raw materials into functional solutions that deliver measurable outcomes for your business: higher performance, lower total cost‑in‑use and a smaller environmental footprint. Refinement is our brand core: technological excellence translated into customer value.

Food

For the food industry, our starch‑ and protein‑based ingredients optimize end‑product quality and create value in production across confectionery, active nutrition, plantification, breading, baked goods and pasta.

Crespel & Deiters wheat starch-based, bio-based, and biodegradable high-performance adhesives for the paper processing industry, improving line performance and reliably replacing PVA in corrugated board, paper honeycomb panels, and laminated board production.

Industrial Solutions

Crespel & Deiters’ high-performance adhesives for the paper processing industry improve line performance and require no additional additives as they are ready to use.

Pet food

For the pet food industry, our functional starches and proteins optimise texture and nutrient profiles – supporting consistent quality and efficient production.

Feed

We offer wheat-based products for agriculture and animal feed. These provide natural energy, flavour and binding agents for better nutrition.
