Ardent Mills Expands Commerce City, Colorado, Production Operations

08/29/2024
Ardent Mills, a flour-milling and ingredient company, plans to expand its mill operations in Commerce City, Colorado.

The project will update existing equipment and increase the company’s capacity to meet the rising food demands and support Colorado's manufacturing and agricultural markets. The expansion is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

"Ardent Mills is proud to be a Colorado-based company, and this investment furthers our commitment and confidence in the region," said Sheryl Wallace, chief executive officer of Ardent Mills. "In the last two decades, this region has experienced significant population growth which has led to more demand for food manufacturing and supply. This project will enable Ardent Mills to incorporate the necessary growth needed to optimally serve the market today and in the future.”

Ardent Mills specialize in flour, quinoa, pulses, and organic and gluten-free products that drive nutrition and innovation across plant-based ingredients. The company currently has operations in Canada, the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

"Adams County is proud to be a prominent producer of wheat and other grains in Colorado," noted Jenni Hall, director of community and economic development, Adams County. "Ardent Mills has long supported local agriculture and manufacturing jobs across the state, while its Commerce City mill has played a vital role in the supply chain that helps to feed communities far beyond state lines.”

"We're excited to support Ardent Mills' continued growth and commitment to Commerce City, Colorado, and the Mountain West region," added Brian Phetteplace, deputy director of economic development for Commerce City. "Since Ardent Mills first called the Denver-metro area home 10 years ago, it has collaborated with the city to champion economic development throughout our region. This latest development by Ardent Mills, in collaboration with Commerce City and Adams County, is not only a testament to our efforts but a promise to continue feeding our families and our futures.”
