About Aviko Deutschland
Aviko Deutschland GmbH, based in Rain am Lech, is the German subsidiary of the Dutch Aviko B.V., which belongs to the Royal Cosun Group. The company processes potatoes into French fries, rösti, mashed potato, potato wedges, gratins, snacks and convenience products for gastronomy, delivery services, wholesale and catering. In Germany, Aviko supplies more than 1,000 wholesale locations and also serves the markets in Austria and Switzerland.
