Los Angeles — Wilbur-Ellis Co. announced on Jan. 19 that it has opened a new Agribusiness Division location in the Denver, Colo., area. The company said the opening is part of its Alignment for Growth plan announced last summer, which included the decision to shift the base of its Agribusiness operations from California to Colorado. “The move to Colorado puts the Agribusiness Division in the middle of our entire operating area, closer to our branch locations and to our customers,” said Dan Vradenburg, president of the Agribusiness Division. “The new facility will make it easier for employees to connect with one another and with our customers, all of whom are critical to our success.” The Agribusiness Division is a $2.1 billion business, with more than 2,800 employees serving customers from more than 175 branch locations in more than 250 crop segments across the U.S. Wilbur-Ellis said the new facility will host key personnel and provide access to multiple meeting and training spaces. As part of Alignment for Growth, Wilbur-Ellis said it has realigned a number of positions around its functional support areas, as well as within its five regions, in order to “combat the changing industry conditions while also meeting customer demands, and accelerating professional and organization growth within the company.” Wilbur-Ellis said these changing conditions include volatile markets, unpredictable weather, more retirements, global influences, and new innovations and technologies. The Wilbur-Ellis corporate headquarters will remain in California.
