The facility will expand upon an already established network for Syngenta and unlock new growth potential
WSI, one of the largest privately held logistics companies in the US has recently announced that it is expanding its agriculture crop protection logistics footprint by partnering with Switzerland-based Syngenta, a leader in agriculture innovation, in opening a state-of-the-art storage and distribution center in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The crop protection facility will expand upon an already established, nationwide network for Syngenta and unlock new growth potential within the agriculture sector.
The opening is Phase One of the agricultural logistics industrial project located on a 43-acre, rail accessible site in Mills County at Interstates 29 and 80 in a designated Foreign Trade Zone.
This phase comprises a distribution building serving the agricultural industry throughout the Midwest. WSI plans an expansion to include a bulk tank farm and possibly additional packaging space.
Syngenta is the initial occupant of the first phase. The strategically located distribution center provides Syngenta additional capacity and flexibility toward meeting the increasing demand for its innovative crop solutions in the US. The facility will better position Syngenta to provide uninterrupted distribution and faster service designed to keep its customers’ operations running smoothly.
The Mills County project is another in a long list of Syngenta investments in the US for American farmers in recent years, totaling more than $315 million.
WSI has historic expertise when it comes to chemical logistics, being the first third-party logistics provider to receive Responsible Care designation from the American Chemistry Council. WSI is devoted to providing its customers the same consistently high-quality services for which it is known, as well as maintaining strict regulatory and quality control its customers and members of the community expect.
