Who is Didion and what do we do?

Home to North America's newest and most-advanced dry corn mill and co-located ethanol/alcohol facility in Cambria, Wisconsin, Didion's proprietary milling process allows us to select the best elements of each corn kernel for food processing, utilizing the remainder for alcohol-based products, like hand-sanitizing liquid.

Nurtured with 48 years of passion and technology, Didion powers some of the world's most respected food brands with a full array of corn products, including brans, flours, grits, meals, pregelatinized ingredients, whole grain, and famine-relief meals. Didion's research and development team also help customize products to meet customer-specific requirements.

Why does all that matter?

Our work impacts millions of people across the world.

You probably have food made with corn processed at Didion on your shelf or in your fridge right this very moment. How about that pizza you ate last night? Yep. Corn is in pizza crust! Or, how about cereal, corn chips, cornbread, or breading on a chicken strip? You guessed it! Corn is in those, too!

Families have a meal to eat tonight in dozens of developing nations because of the work we do at Didion.

Hundreds of local farmers can provide for their families thanks to partnering with Didion.

All of this is possible because of dedicated, talented, and caring people. Those people work at Didion. You, too, could make a big impact. We would love to have to have you join us!
