From the wheat starch factory to a leading specialist for wheat starch.
Wheat has been at the heart of everything we do for more than 160 years. Having started as a classic wheat starch factory, Crespel & Deiters is one of the leading producers of wheat starches and wheat proteins in Europe today. Because, for us, nothing is more fascinating than the possibilities offered by wheat. The entire circle of life is contained within a tiny grain of wheat. From seeds to ears of wheat, to a supplier of vitamins, nutrients and energy. Crespel & Deiters’ aspiration is to develop the great variety of possibilities of the natural raw material of wheat and to develop, use and perfect these possibilities for industrial applications in the food, non-food and feed sectors. Together with our customers, we create functional products made from wheat, which ensure greater efficiency, performance and quality in a wide range of sectors and industries.
The benefits of wheat starches and wheat proteins for humans, animals and the industry.
The wheat flour is suspended to a dough at the headquarters in Ibbenbüren by adding water. Through physical separation such as sieving, centrifugation and evaporation, Crespel & Deiters’ wheat starch factory produces wheat starch, wheat proteins, fibres and extracts.
With the accompanying quality assurance throughout the entire production process, we absorb the natural variations in the quality of the natural raw material and create consistently reliable wheat-based products. These are refined in innovative manufacturing processes by our food and non-food brands using mixing, extrusion and modification to create highly functional products that are used efficiently in a wide range of applications and industries:

The wheat grain – the ingredients make it so valuable.
Wheat is our basis for the development of high-performance products. We make full use of the grain corn’s ingredients, utilising all of its constituent parts. because each constituent part has its own properties and possible applications.
The wheat starch, for example, forms resistant, solid gels, is highly stable during processing and can be used in various ways in both the food and non-food sectors.
Wheat protein (gluten), is particularly important for its baking properties and also improves the nutritional quality of food.
From the mill to the wheat starch factory: The regional processing of our wheat.
In its wheat starch factory Crespel & Deiters primarily processes German wheat (at least 75 %) as well as wheat from Europe. Thanks to the large share of local wheat, we keep the transport routes as short as possible. This strengthens the agricultural sector, both in Germany and in Europe. The grain is processed into flour in regional grain mills. These grain mills have been working for the Crespel & Deiters Group for decades. The short distances to the regional mills also contribute to greater efficiency and climate protection. The high German standards that apply when milling, and which have been agreed with the selected grain mills, guarantee the consistent quality of wheat flour from the very beginning.
We separate wheat flour into its constituent parts at our headquarters in Ibbenbüren. Using the most modern production technologies, we achieve a 99% rate of raw material recycling and guarantee an efficient, resource-saving handling of the raw material wheat. We also use water and energy responsibly in the production of our wheat starch and wheat proteins.

Wheat bran
Straight feed or feed additive for the feed industry
For more than 160 years, Crespel & Deiters has been closely associated with the natural raw material of wheat and its variety of possible uses. In intensive research and development, with experience and vision, in combination with a profound knowledge of grain, we create functional products and procedures for customer-specific applications. Our core competence is found in the separation of wheat into its original constituent parts and refining it to create innovative solutions More than 370,000 tons of wheat are refined into highly functional products by the Crespel & Deiters Group every year. To maintain high capacity and even expand further, Crespel & Deiters continually invests in future-focused further development of its production facilities. Our production processes are always technically, ecologically and economically state-of-the-art thanks to innovative in-house developments in the technical area.
Qualitative production and high availability of wheat starch & co.
Crespel & Deiters‘ core innovation promise is supported by the knowledge, experience and professionalism manifested in the quality of all our processes and products. From the selection of the raw materials, to the controlling of handling processes and the delivery of the products, all process steps at Crespel & Deiters are analysed, inspected and evaluated. The efficiency of our production processes ensures that our products’ quality always remains high. Also the efficient use of the raw material is important. With the optimisation of production and machinery efficiency, we at the Crespel & Deiters Group utilise 99 % of the wheat grain. Permanent product availability for customers is also ensured by structured processes and pro-active planning.
Maximum performance and high added value:
The reliable quality and high efficiency of our work is the result of our employees´ great knowledge, as well as of decades of experience and expertise regarding the natural raw material wheat.
Regional and without genetic engineering:
We only use wheat from Europe, of which at least 75% come from German cultivation. The high-quality raw material is free of genetically modified ingredients, rich in nutrients and is characterised by high purity.
Quality by specialists:
- Consistent stable processing
- Compliance with quality parameters
- High processing power
- Optimised yield structure
- Delivery reliability and short delivery dates
- Security through stockpiling
