General Starch Limited
As quite a young player in the global starch market General Starch Limited (GSL) begun production in 1992 but has grown up very quickly to become one of the leading and most trusted modified starch manufacturers in Thailand producing up to 1000 tonnes of starch per day from fresh, Non GMO cassava root covering industrial, food as well as pharmaceutical markets. Staff at JaDa have been working exclusively with GSL for well over 15 years to market their range of modified tapioca starches to the Australian market as we believe no other Thai company can meet there high quality starch production, R&D and customer service support, competitive pricing structure and long term partnership thinking.
GSL is also very active within its local community taking their social responsibility very seriously. GSL have been involved in many projects to help the local community from helping farmers to improve farming techniques, working with local schools to provide winter jackets to the students as well as school projects to raise awareness of drug and alcohol problems. Recently GSL donated computers to fourteen hospitals located in the area to help support the operation of the sub-district Health Promoting Hospital Officer.
Starches impart viscosity, improve stability of food systems and modify textures. Tapioca, known for its clear gel, clean taste and excellent flow, suit a wide range of applications perfectly especially in delicate flavoured foods such as dairy and fruit based products. Applications for tapioca starch are endless spanning bakery and batters, to soups, sauces and dressings, with everything from noodles, spaghetti, beverages, processed meats and fish, snacks and convenience foods in between. With GSLs strong focus and well equipped R&D teams and labs and IFI’s experience we can both help to point you in the right direction. Whether you are matching a current starch or at the beginning of product development work we can help, just reach out.
As well as holding an array of certifications including BRC, ISO 9001 and 14001, GMP, HACCP, Halal and kosher GSL also hold their environmental credentials to high regard with a very strong focus on reducing the companies carbon foot print and environmental impact. GSL have implemented several major environmental projects over their years including closed system waste water ponds and biogas projects for the generation of an alternative energy source to fossil fuels, methane gas.
