Originally founded in Italy in the 1950’s as a fruit distillery, Sedamyl has grown to become one of Europe’s industry leaders in grain processing, with the production of starches, sweeteners, proteins and alcohol. Sedamyl is an Italian family-run business, with two production sites in Italy and in UK and its own sales organisation covering the EU and UK, owned by the Frandino family since 1961. In the summer of 2019, Sedamyl became an independent family group again following the ending of a previous Joint Venture.
The Italian arm of the business is based in Saluzzo, in the Piedmont region of Italy, and the UK division is based in Selby after the group acquired the site in 2010 and production into the UK market began in 2012. In the UK, Sedamyl processes wheat to manufacture a range of value-added products that includes gluten, starch, alcohol for food & beverages and wheatfeed.
The starch industry is a fundamental link in the value chain between agriculture and thousands of end products in food, feed and industrial applications. A starch plant not only produces starch, but the overriding objective of starch producers is to valorise all the components of the agricultural raw materials. The industry is a key part of the circular economy since it processes every part of the plant and produces minimal waste, with less than 1% is not valorised.
