Crushing It in the USA
Our customer, a world leader in oilseed processing and biodiesel making, is adding a crushing facility to increase its production capacity. The company broke ground on a USD 250 million manufacturing facility in the autumn of 2023 and is adding a 170,000-square-foot soybean crushing facility, that will enable them to increase its production from 43 million to 83 million bushels of soybeans annually. To ensure that the facility is operating to the highest ecological standards, they are also adding a 50-acre solar array that will power the facilities.
Our teams in China and the USA completed the first shipments from India and China over the last few weeks. We advised the customer on the design of the transport frames, assisted with the packing and helped mitigate the challenges of the longer transit times and higher cost as a result of the recent attacks on vessels in the Gulf of Aden.
We want to congratulate the teams for a successful first load out and thank the customer for their trust in our services.
