Wuxi Wilson Starch Industry Co., Ltd.

Wuxi Wilson Starch Industry Co., Ltd. makes modified starch and is headquartered in the Shanshui City science and education industrial park in Binhu district, Wuxi, Jiangsu province. The business combines production, sales and product development, and the main output is food-grade modified starch, with smaller volumes going into pharmaceutical, cosmetic and building material uses.

The range covers acetylated starch, distarch phosphate and acetylated distarch phosphate. The company describes each by the function it delivers rather than by chemistry alone: boiling and rehydration resistance and reduced turbidity in noodles, gel texture and reduced polishing cracking in confectionery, freeze-thaw stability and reduced frosting in frozen products, crispness retention after frying, and creamy mouthfeel in sauces and dairy applications that allows milk powder or cheese to be cut back.

Manufacturing in China is split between plants in Jiangsu and Shandong, with further modified starch bases in Thailand and Vietnam. The Huai'an plant in Jiangsu covers close to 70 mu and has a total capacity of 50,000 tonnes a year, and the Vietnamese plant has a capacity of 100,000 tonnes a year.
