- New warehouse will increase unloading
speed, improve product quality and supply chain
Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts, a subsidiary of Archer Daniels
Midland Company (NYSE: ADM), today announced that it is investing
in the construction of a new warehouse and receiving area at its
shelling facility in Headland, Alabama.
“Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts is already one of the world’s
premier handlers and processors of peanuts, and we are committed to
taking action to remain the first choice for customers,” said Greg
Mills, president of Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts. “The new receiving
and storage capacity we are building at our Headland facility will
allow us to ensure that we continue to meet—and exceed—customer
needs as the peanut and peanut oil markets in the U.S. continue to
grow.
“We are taking vigorous action to ensure that we remain a leader
in the industry,” Mills continued. “Just last month, we announced
plans to increase our farmer stock warehousing capabilities in
Argentina. In 2016, we completed upgrades at our processing
facility in Dawson, Georgia, and our storage location in Vienna,
Georgia. Our goal is to continue to lead the industry with global
capabilities, the highest-quality products, and unparalleled
customer service.”
The new facility, which will have the ability to store 20,000
tons of peanuts, will help improve efficiency for farmers by
reducing unload times, and will enhance quality control in the
Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts processing system. It will include a
100’ by 540’ foot warehouse, with:
- Two truck dump pits;
- Four sand screens;
- Four warehouse separations; and
- Four load-out doors.
“We are proud to be investing in the Headland community, and
we’d like to thank Mayor Marler, Matt Parker and the team at the
Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Headland
Industrial Development Board for their continued support of Golden
Peanut and Tree Nuts, and of the entire region,” said John
Sheppard, manager of the Headland Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts
facility.
The project is targeted for completion in time for the 2017
harvest. Suppliers or customers with questions about the Headland
facility should contact Greg Mills at (770) 752-8225.
