Connecting global supply and demand

We connect soybean and pea consumers in Asia with farmers in North America. Marine and animal processors in South America have access to our growing global feed markets. Farmers in Canada are connected to distilleries and food manufacturers throughout the globe. Our extensive experience across the food and feed supply chain allows us to offer tailored solutions. We can safely and reliably deliver agricultural products to more than 50 countries. We can also use our expertise to handle imports for U.S. customers. Just leave the origination and documentation up to us.

Andres Cleaning Facility

CUSTOMER STORY

Bridging soybean demand in America and Asia with a new facility

In 2013, we recognized a need in the IP soybean market for greater quality and volume. The market was demanding consistent shipments, traceability and increased food safety systems so we got to work on a solution: a new facility outside of Chicago.

Scoular’s Andres facility is a state-of-the-art grain cleaning facility that helps us service IP soybean and corn customers throughout Asia and the United States. We contract single-variety soybeans for tofu, miso, soymilk and other food products with farmers. Then we manage storage, cleaning and shipping to Asia.

Adding this facility allowed us to be a supply chain manager to our customers, so food manufacturers could concentrate on producing and marketing their products.

Custom marine protein solutions

Encompass is our global fishmeal business that identifies custom marine protein solutions based on your unique product specifications. Through our expansive supply network, we can source more than 15 different species from over 40 countries and regions all year long.
