Regina-Viterra Inc. said Dec. 19 that it plans to expand its agri-products retail center at Vermilion, AB. Improvements include increasing its current fertilizer storage capacity and upgrading its dry blending services. “As part of our ongoing commitment to our local customers, we recognized the need to enhance our services in the Vermilion area,” said Doug Wonnacott, senior vice president, Agri-products. “By aligning our footprint to match their needs, we position ourselves to meet growing market demand.” The expansion, which will increase fertilizer storage capacity by 1,200 mt to 2,600 mt overall, is slated to start in the summer of 2009 and scheduled for completion in the fall. The retail center will continue to offer a full range of premium products, including seed, crop protection packages, and equipment.
