Established in 1974, Manildra Group USA has long been dedicated to being the leader in the vital wheat gluten industry. A focus on quality, service, and reliability has helped us to establish a reputation as a supplier of the highest quality ingredients on the market. Our customers know they will get the best product on the market, when and where they need it. Gem of the West® vital wheat gluten has been the foundation for Manildra Group USA from the beginning and continues to be. But as customer demands and industry trends began to evolve so did Manildra Group USA, opening a manufacturing in Hamburg, IA, in 1994. Since then we have continued to innovate and diversify to meet customer needs in a changing market. As consumers continue to seek new and healthier options, we have developed ingredients to help food manufactures meet those demands. Today Manildra’s four main product lines – Gem of the West®, GemPro®, GemStar™ and GemGel® – cover a wide range of functionality, making them suitable for food products ranging from bakery to frozen food, as well as many industrial applications. Manildra Group USA has a history of being innovative and forward thinking in providing solutions - a key ingredient in being a relevant partner to today’s food manufacturers. Manildra was first to market with organic gluten in North America in the early 2000s, providing a solution for a market that would not significantly expand for another decade. Manildra Group USA continues to focus on solutions to meet customer needs. In 2016, Manildra will open our Applications Lab to provide an additional resource to our customers, helping them to achieve their goals faster by providing efficient, reliable support. Together we grow.
