	50	+	The product line goes back to 1927, when Deutsche Maizena GmbH sold the dextrose powder that became the brand; Deutsche Maizena belonged to the American Corn Products Refining Corporation, which was renamed Bestfoods in 1998 and absorbed into Unilever in 2000.[^wikipedia] The company that carries the business today is younger than that: it was registered on 7 February 2005 with its seat in Hamburg as Zertus Proxima GmbH & Co. KG, with Zertus Proxima Geschäftsführungs-GmbH as general partner and ZERTUS GmbH as limited partner, and Unilever sold Dextro Energy to Zertus on 5 March 2005.[^northdata][^wikipedia] In June 2005 the register recorded the move of the seat to Krefeld under HRA 5271 and Dextro Energy Geschäftsführungs-GmbH as the new general partner, and Zertus Proxima GmbH & Co. KG stands in the register as the former name.[^northdata] Around 160 people worked in the Krefeld business at the time of the sale, on an estimated turnover of up to 30 million euro in a German dextrose market then put at 50 million.[^wikipedia] Above ZERTUS GmbH the group is held by Zuckerraffinerie Tangermünde Fr. Meyers Sohn Holding GmbH of Hamburg, which files the consolidated group accounts and lists Dextro Energy among its companies.[^nd-zertus][^wp-holding]
