Archer Daniels Midland Company will convert its Spyck,
Germany rapeseed crushing facility to a multi-seed crushing
facility. The multi-seed crushing plant will be able to crush
both rapeseed and sunseed to enhance the product portfolio
offering to food oil customers.
By adding multi-seed crushing capacity, ADM will be able to
expand its product offering while delivering flexible and
efficient solutions to its food oil customers.
“This investment is an example of leveraging our core strengths
in agricultural processing in order to create value and
capitalize on changing consumer demand for food oils,” said Mark
Zenuk, ADM Vice President and Managing Director-Europe and Asia.
The expansion is scheduled to be complete in April 2007.
