- Addition follows on 2015 sweetener expansion in Eastern Europe, represents continued execution of plan to grow global capabilities
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today announced that it has
agreed to acquire from Tate & Lyle (LON: TATE.L) a Casablanca,
Morocco-based corn wet mill that produces glucose and native starch.
“The Morocco plant, which serves both global and regional customers in
the food, feed, paper and corrugated board industries, is a great
addition to our global sweeteners and starches footprint,” said Chris
Cuddy, president of ADM’s Corn Processing business unit. “The facility
is the leading sweetener and starch supplier in a country that should
see substantial demand growth in the coming years. It is well-positioned
to serve Moroccan customers as well as Mediterranean export markets.
This also represents an opportunity to help introduce a wider range of
ADM food and feed ingredients to the Moroccan market.”
The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval. ADM targets closing
during the first half of 2016.
