Maumee, Ohio — The Andersons Inc. Plant Nutrient Group on April 27 announced the completion of efforts to expand and modernize its dry bulk storage, blending, and load out capabilities at its Maumee, Ohio, facility. The company said extensive work was completed to the interior of the existing arch building structure to provide space for six bulk fertilizer products while increasing the overall storage capacity to 61,000 tons. A load out building was also added to the side of the arch building, and two Waconia fertilizer towers were installed. “This new equipment will allow our customers to get in and out of our plant more quickly and enable them to complete more trips in a day,” said Al Bensch, vice president of Northern Operations for the Plant Nutrient Group. “The covered load out also allows us to load trucks in any weather.” The new facility has been in operation since the beginning of April. The Andersons held an open house in late March so customers and suppliers could get a firsthand look at the improvements. CEO Mike Anderson commented at the Open House that “this investment is a part of The Andersons’ overall ongoing commitment to modernizing all of our facilities to better serve agriculture.”
