History

First discovered in 1897, zein is the primary storage protein in corn.

Its unique properties, such as forming tough, glossy, hydrophobic, and grease-proof coatings resistant to microbial attack, have generated significant commercial interest.

Today, known as FloZein Products, the company was originally established as Flo Chemical Corp in 1976 and has remained the sole manufacturer of zein in North America. In 2014, it underwent a transformation to become a second-generation Women Business Enterprise (WBE).

Along with this change, FloZein Products also adopted advanced manufacturing technology and expanded its capabilities to offer multiple product lines, sales, and marketing services, as well as specialized application and consultation services.
