تهران
Food-grade gluten is wheat’s storage protein complex, driving rheology in industrial bread, pasta and processed meat. Tehran combines conversion plants, import desks and Molavi wholesale banking; the 120 km capital environmental belt pushes physical extraction to Pakdasht, Rey and Varamin while trading stays central.
The chain spans flour-washing plants, engineering sales offices, Shourabad bulk warehouses and high-purity imports from China and Türkiye.

Flour slurry washing removes starch granules leaving a cohesive wet gluten mass.
Vacuum filters or continuous centrifuges cut initial moisture.
Flash or spray drying with temperature caps to protect disulfide bonds.
Milling, screening and 25 kg or jumbo food-grade bags.

Tehran gluten pricing is shaped by starch co-production, domestic wheat quality gaps, meat-formulation substitution and the plant-in-suburbs / HQ-in-city split.
Plants cannot tune lines to gluten price alone; weak industrial starch offtake forces total throughput cuts.
Central plateau wheat falls short on protein and sedimentation for continuous lines in Robat Karim and Malard — VWG is a technical must.
Islamshahr, Robat Karim and Pakdasht lead meat-binder demand; wheat gluten offers neutral flavour vs soy isolates.
Mega refineries sit in neighbouring provinces while pricing, agencies and exports are run from Tehran offices.
Typical yields are only 100–130 kg vital gluten per tonne of flour against 550–650 kg starch — a starch demand shock quickly tightens local gluten supply.
