The Wittingen plant was built in 1962 by the company C.H. Knorr Nahrungsmittelfabriken. It has also been part of the Group since it was acquired by the Emsland Group in April 2000. The wide range of applications and excellent properties of potato granules for the food industry were recognized as early as the 1970s, and thus the foundations for the successful development in Wittingen were laid.

The excellent conditions in the region ensure that the final products have extraordinarily high quality. In 2005, a new feed production plant for processing potato remains to make high-quality animal feed went into operation.

Emsland Food GmbH is also an important economic factor for the region of Wittingen. In the Wittingen plant, the availability of potatoes as a natural raw material is backed by our contract farmers in the potato-growing region around Wittingen.
