11/06/2023
The new soybean processing plant in Upper Sandusky will have integrated crushing, edible oil refining, and lecithin production and packaging capabilities. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2024.
“This strategic development will further strengthen LDC’s core merchandizing capabilities with additional capacity to originate and process US soy into value-added products, in this case edible oils and lecithin, reinforcing our position as a partner to our customers as we grow our Food & Feed Solutions business established in January,” said Michael Gelchie, LDC’s Chief Executive Officer.
The State of Ohio and JobsOhio will consider assistance for the project, which will be made public after any incentives are approved.
“LDC's substantial investment is a testament to Ohio's economic vibrancy and our appeal to global agribusiness leaders,” noted J.P. Nauseef, JobsOhio president and CEO.“ This collaborative effort brings 100 new jobs and cutting-edge technology that will serve as a magnet for future investment in this critical sector.”
