Our unique Know-how connection

SternMaid America is a member of the independent Stern-Wywiol Gruppe that has made a name for itself internationally in the field of Food Ingredients. Interdisciplinary product development is one of the group’s key competences. Since 2003 it has operated the Stern-Technology Center in Hamburg-Ahrensburg, with the latest technical plant and equipment.

The unusual combination of know-how in the fields of enzyme technology, hydrocolloids and emulsifiers with our expertise in baking improvers enables us to develop individual baking ingredients, baking improvers, baking premixes and baking concentrates. An exchange of information on a partnership basis, especially between the firms Mühlenchemie, SternEnzym, Hydrosol, Sternchemie and DeutscheBack, is often the catalyst that triggers the development of new solutions.
