ADM said yesterday (4 January) that it had acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Alimenta (USA) from Alimenta SA, a Switzerland-based agricultural trading company.

“Golden Peanut Company has a strong and diverse customer base,” said Steve Mills, ADM senior executive vice president, performance and growth. “With well-positioned assets, strong customer relationships and an experienced management team, we believe Golden Peanut Company will realise profitable growth in the future. In addition to generating solid financial returns, this acquisition will also create synergies with current ADM operations.”

Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, Golden Peanut is the largest US handler, processor and exporter of peanuts, peanut oil and peanut-derived ingredients. The company’s operations include seven handling facilities located in peanut-producing regions of the US and one facility in Argentina.
