Expansion with Insta-Pro’s Hi-Gel™ Corn and Soy Processing Technologies
In today’s feed and food industries, sustainable growth is driven by smart strategies, advanced technologies, and trusted partnerships. One of our standout customers demonstrates how innovation and long-term thinking can drive meaningful expansion across borders.
This customer in Southeast Asia began their journey with Insta-Pro International by investing in our ExPress® soybean meal and oil systems, which use high-shear dry extrusion technology and HTST (high-temperature, short-time) processing. This unlocks key nutritional advantages: higher metabolizable energy (ME), improved amino acid digestibility, and effective deactivation of anti-nutritional factors. It also delivers consistent results, producing 43%–47% crude protein, 6%–8% residual oil, and 94%–95% dry matter. With both protein and oil in one ingredient, customers benefit from improved feed efficiency and balanced formulations. The natural oil also contributes to product stability and shelf life.
This sets Insta-Pro’s technology apart from conventional systems by delivering not only processing, but also performance-driven nutritional outcomes.
As their partnership with Insta-Pro grew, the customer expanded into ExPress® cottonseed meal and Hi-Gel™ corn. For the human food segment, they added soy flour and textured soy protein (TSP) to meet local demand for high-protein, nutrient-rich ingredients.
What makes this customer unique is their strong focus on sustainability, environmental responsibility, and product traceability. Insta-Pro’s dry extrusion technology avoids chemical solvents, allowing for a clean-label product line. This aligns with the customer’s long-term commitment to quality and consumer trust.
Most recently, the customer expanded its operations to Thailand with a dedicated Hi-Gel™ corn project. This leverages neighboring Myanmar’s role as a key corn exporter in Southeast Asia, transforming raw corn into a high-value ingredient for the Thai feed industry and export markets.
Hi-Gel™ corn is especially valuable in piglet and young animal diets due to its high starch gelatinization (over 90%), which enhances digestibility and energy utilization. Using Insta-Pro technology, it promotes better performance and feed efficiency while reducing the need for added enzymes or oils.
At the heart of their success is a strong relationship with Insta-Pro’s team. Ongoing collaboration around technology, nutrition, R&D, and engineering helps the customer stay at the forefront of feed and food innovation.
In Southeast Asia, where relationships matter deeply, this customer shows how partnership and responsiveness are key to long-term success. At Insta-Pro, we’re proud to support their continued growth and look forward to future success in even more markets.
