Emsland Nişasta: Delivering Starch Solutions for the Textile Industry
Emsland Nişasta, a subsidiary of Emsland Group, has been supplying starch-based solutions in Turkey since 1994. Initially operating through partnerships and agencies, the company became a fully owned entity of the Emsland Group in 2012. Based in İzmir, it serves Turkey, Africa, Southeastern Europe, and the Middle East, with a focus on food, textiles, adhesives, and construction industries. Its large warehouse in Kemalpaşa ensures efficient distribution, while a local mixing facility produces specialized textile blends.
Supporting Customer Needs
Emsland Nişasta’s industrial customers include textile producers, paper sack manufacturers, and construction chemical companies. Textile clients, located mainly in Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan, rely on timely delivery and tailored technical solutions.
These customers have two primary needs: supply chain reliability and technical performance. Many operate with minimal inventory, requiring just-in-time deliveries and consistent product availability. Emsland Nişasta’s local warehouse plays a crucial role in ensuring stable supply chains.
The Emsland Group offers two product lines for the textile industry:
Emsize®
Sizing agents based on modified potato and pea starch — designed to help threads withstand tension and friction during demanding weaving processes
Ensize®
Blended sizing agent for optimized performance and efficiency — suitable for advanced textile technology for applications like denim, shirting, and home textiles
Local Production for Customized Solutions
The blending facility allows for on-demand formulation of sizing agents, reducing the need for multiple ingredients at customer sites. By developing and testing products based on customer requirements, Emsland Nişasta ensures effective solutions for modern weaving processes.
Murat Ozuyamanbas, responsible for Sales in Technical Specialties, highlights the importance of this approach: “Customers today seek ready-to-use blends rather than handling multiple raw materials themselves. Our ability to create tailored solutions locally means faster delivery, better efficiency, and consistent quality.”
Expanding Reach and Future Focus
With GOTS 7.0 and ZDHC Level 3.0 certifications, Emsland Nişasta meets international quality and sustainability standards. The company continues to expand in Egypt and Pakistan while introducing its products further to European markets like Portugal and Greece.
By maintaining close relationships with customers and adapting to industry trends, Emsland Nişasta remains a key supplier of starch solutions in the textile sector.
