Online farm inputs retailer CommoditAg, Effingham, Ill., added two new companies to its expanding network of product and service providers. Triangle Chemical Co., a full-service wholesale/retail distributor of fertilizer, agricultural chemicals, and seed in Macon, Ga., joined CommoditAg in June, along with tarp systems provider Brumleve®, Teutopolis, Ill.
“Triangle C.C. is committed to providing the agricultural services growers need to be successful, and we are pleased to be partnering with them to expand our reach into the South,” said John Demerly, CommoditAg CEO. “Both our companies are continually expanding and adapting to meet the needs of farmers to ensure their success, which makes this an ideal partnership.”
CommoditAg said the addition of Triangle C.C. gives its customers access to products and fulfillment centers in the Southeast. Founded in 1947, Triangle offers and products and services to the row crop, vegetable, tree crop, turf, and ornamental industries from 28 locations in Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and North Carolina. The company is a member of Atlanta-based Tenkoz Inc., the largest distribution entity for crop protection products in the U.S.
“E-commerce continues to expand and make a greater impact in the agriculture industry,” said Tripp Maddux, Director of Business Development at Triangle C.C. “We selected CommoditAg as our partner for this venture because it was the best fit for our company. We believe CommoditAg will work well alongside our traditional sales avenues, while helping us reach new producers and allowing us to expand our offerings in our current marketplace and beyond.”
CommoditAg said Brumleve has been a leader in tarp system installation, parts, and service for more than 30 years. “Partnering with CommoditAg is a great opportunity for us at Brumleve to expand our market reach,” said Michael Brumleve, Operations Manager at Brumleve. “Their e-commerce platform is top-notch, and our product line fits in perfectly with their customer base.”
CommoditAg offers a broad range of crop protection, lubricants, plant nutrition, and animal nutrition products from more than 50 retail fulfillment centers, with delivery or same-day pick-up options available to buyers. Triangle C.C. and Brumleve are the latest retail partners to join CommoditAg since the platform’s launch in late 2017 by founding partners The Equity in Illinois and Sunrise Cooperative in Ohio (GM Jan. 5, 2018).
