Amilina runs a modern wet wheat mill in Panevezys, the heart of the Lithuanian agroindustrial business and Baltic Wheat Belt. The company processes wheat into starch and vital gluten fractions. The remaining by-products of the wet process are processed, concentrated, mixed with wheat bran, dried, and pelletized into animal feed pellets.

Amilina, which is both ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 certified, has an excellent reputation for the quality of its starch products, which are used throughout a variety of industries.
