F A family affair
Cargill started out as a small grain handler in 1865 and were based in Conover, Iowa. The company came from modest, family beginnings with just one elevator, but soon expanded to more advanced equipment, and in greater quantity, which allowed a complete solution from sourcing grain, handling and of course, processing. The expansion was largely due to the use of the railroads, all of which had grain elevators. It was reported that, “A lot of the initial expansion of Cargill followed the railroads in the early days so essentially wherever there was a railroad, there was typically a grain elevator.” These were an efficient way of transporting grains and goods across the United States and gave Cargill a foothold for their fledgling business. Now in 2017, Cargill has 150,000 employees worldwide and have diversified their business to allow for further expansion. It currently has nine corn refining facilities across the USA with multiple locations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Cargill Starches & Sweeteners North America specific to the Empyreal product has a number of third-party partners who load and unload at various sites including Seattle, Kansas City and New Orleans, along with a fleet of railcars and trucks to move large volumes. After touring this leading-edge facility, it became apparent that Cargill is committed to helping its customers feed a growing world by providing innovative animal nutrition solutions like Empyreal 75.
