We welcome SSF as a SAI Platform member

3rd March 2021

“At SSF we think that sustainability will be a main driver for our business for the years to come. At the same time there is a lot of confusion about what sustainability is. By joining SAI Platform we hope it will be easier to communicate to external stakeholders what we are doing.”

Hans Berggen, CEO, SSF

Sveriges Stärkelseproducenter (SSF), förening u.p.a. is a Swedish starch company owned by some 500 potato growing producers. The company produces, develops and sells native potato starch, modified starches and potato fibers to the global food industry under the Lyckeby brand.

Production with optimised use of resources, 5. Development of sustainable product and packaging solutions.
