Cosun business groups
All our activities process agricultural raw materials. They are divided into four business groups and a number of smaller business units:
- Suiker Unie processes the Dutch sugar beet harvest and manufactures both sugar and sugar specialities.
- Aviko processes potatoes into chips and a range of specialities, both chilled and frozen.
- Sensus produces inulin and oligofructose for use in specific foodstuffs.
- SVZ processes and conserves fruit and vegetables for use in foodstuffs.
-
At Duynie, everything revolves around getting value out of organic by-products from the food industry. Duynie delivers high quality, moist feed to livestock farmers. Novidon specializes in processing and upgrading side stream starch from the potato processing industry.
- Cosun Biobased Products is a start-up business that markets special ingredients for non-food applications.
- Cosun Food Technology Centre is the group's knowledge and expertise hub that combines and further develops knowledge about process technology and product development.
Our philosophy is that food is a high quality application of agricultural produce. Virtually all our businesses also supply ingredients or residual flows for use in animal feed or non-food applications. These flows include natural food fibres, natural aromas, colourings and flavourings, recoverable minerals and fertilisers. Once all the usable substances have been recovered, the residues are increasingly being fermented to generate green energy.
