Omaha-Gavilon LLC said Jan. 5 that it has finalized the acquisition of nine grain facilities in Texas from Charlie Myers Grain Co. This marks the first purchase for the company since its inception in June 2008, when a group of investors bought the former ConAgra Trade Group. The purchase of Charlie Myers Grain Co., located in Seymour, Texas, did not include fertilizer, trucking, or feed lots. Gavilon says the acquisition compliments its current footprint in the grain industry by expanding its presence in Texas, a growing market area for the company. The elevators are located in Seymour, Wichita Falls, Weinert, Haskell, Knox City, Red City, Crowell, Benjamin, and Truscott, Texas. Gavilon intends to retain all of the current Charlie Myers Grain Co. grain employees pending the completion of the application and hiring process. Gavilon said the intention is to create a relatively seamless transition, allowing business activity to continue uninterrupted for the local customer base. The Gavilon Group LLC provides physical distribution, merchandising, and trading across basic inputs and outputs, including grains, feed ingredients, fertilizer, and energy products.
