Oakley Fertilizer Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bruce Oakley Inc., North Little Rock, Ark., announced on Nov. 1 that it has acquired the U.S. assets of Oxbow Fertilizer LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oxbow Sulphur Inc., The Woodlands, Texas.
The purchase includes Oxbow fertilizer distribution facilities at Cincinnati, Ohio, Ottawa and Seneca, Ill., and St. Louis, Mich. “Oakley expects the transition to be seamless and will be business-as-usual,” Oakley said in a brief statement. “As part of the purchase, Oakley will be required to change the name of the company. We will notify everyone when this is completed.”
Oakley said all questions about day-to-day operations should be directed to Bubba Vance, Oakley Fertilizer vice president.
