Canadian agribusiness Parrish & Heimbecker Ltd. in April announced major upgrades planned for the company’s grain facility in Kincardine, Ont., including a new dryer and wet storage system, a kiosk for the self-weighing of trucks, a probing station, and larger receiving pits.
“We are thrilled to be upgrading our facility with state-of-the-art equipment,” said Bruce Humphries, General Manager, P&H Kincardine. “These upgrades will not only improve the efficiency of our facility, but they will also benefit our customers by allowing them to unload their grain quickly and easily, reducing wait times and improving their overall experience.”
Construction has begun, and the upgrades are scheduled to be completed in early 2024. Once completed, the new facility will offer faster unloading speeds and expanded storage capacity, and will be dedicated to serving the growing demand for high-quality wheat from P&H’s flour mills in Ontario.
“As we move forward with these and other upgrades and additions in our Eastern region, our goal is not only to provide the best services to our customers, but also to support the local community and economy,” said Darryl Markle, Director Eastern Operations. “We are excited to be investing in this region and look forward to continuing to serve it for many years to come.”
