ADM Agri-Industries in Windsor has celebrated the opening of its expanded grain terminal at the Port of Windsor with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The expansion of ADM’s grain terminal at the Port of Windsor is a transformative project that significantly increases ADM’s export capacity to global markets and supports agricultural production from southwestern Ontario farmers.
In partnership with Transport Canada, and through financial support from the National Trade Corridor Fund, ADM Agri-Industries began work on the expansion in early 2024. The expansion includes new grain dryers; a new roadway and kiosk system to load soybean and canola meal; additional meal space at the ADM crush plant; and new silos and conveyance to efficiently load export meal and grain.
“This expansion offers multiple beneficial effects on the local economy, including increasing demand for locally grown products, supporting and growing the regional transportation industry, and contributing to increased use of marine logistics,” said Kevin Wright, general manager, ADM Great Lakes Region. “We want to thank Transport Canada and the National Trade Corridor Fund for their support of this expansion project and their investment in Windsor, Ontario.”
