Managing Director
Potato starch production in Horažďovice is a tradition that goes back over one hundred years. Throughout this period it has been marked by the efforts of many generations of “starch producers” who have often had to fight to maintain production and always with the aim of achieving lasting and long-term company development.
Possibly the worse crisis occurred in the early 1990s after the gradual privatisation of the Czech starch production industry saw the reduction of the original 17 producers to just 5, the number currently in operation. And one of these is our company based in Horažďovice.
After privatisation we established our company in Horažďovice. We run a highly competitive production and sales programme, using the latest technical equipment and manned by an experienced and professionally skilled team.
LYCEKBY AMYLEX, Inc. combines Swedish know-how with Czech efficiency and skill. We produce high quality products, including potato starch, dextrin and other modified starches.
