The Roquette group family enterprise is one of the top-ranked processors of starch (Nº 2 in Europe and Nº 5 in the world), as well as being the world leader in polyols, and the leading European producer of maltodextrins, pyrogen free raw materials and cationic starches. In 2010 it achieved a turnover of over 2.5 billion euros.

Roquette basically converts four vegetables into raw materials essential to industry. As a result, thanks to the starch extracted from maize, wheat, potatoes or peas, the firm produces more than 700 by-products.
