Custom Ingredients

To compete in today’s marketplace, you need not only a winning product, but also the ability to manufacture and distribute at a speed that meets growing demand. A fundamental way to achieve efficiency in product development is to have your foundational ingredients - such as sweeteners, starches, flours, and baking mixes - tailored to your unique production goals. Custom solutions not only speed up your manufacturing, but also offer the efficiency needed to succeed. ADM partners with you for the long term, working collaboratively to create solutions that address both your current and future needs. They provide the operational flexibility and technical expertise required to help achieve your production, cost, and sourcing targets - enabling you to meet your business goals and maintain consumer satisfaction.

Flexible Demand Fulfillment

Trains, planes, and automobiles - add in semitrailers and ocean liners - and you have almost all the modes of transportation often needed to achieve success across the global food supply chain. With so many moving parts, unforeseen events such as unpredictable weather delays, machine maintenance, and more can create setbacks for your business that may seem insurmountable. ADM understands that there are variables that are sometimes out of your control, which is why their integrated transportation network and flexible production prove to be invaluable, time and time again. Their world-class logistics and transportation teams, including a coordinated network of production facilities and supply points, work together to get your products where they need to go when they need to be there. Additionally, ADM’s privately-owned transportation modes dramatically reduce the risk often associated with third parties, helping to keep you efficient and on schedule.

Your business is growing and evolving and so is the general population. It’s time to think about expanding to meet growing demand, but where exactly should your next facility be to maximize return? Creating a plan to optimize your manufacturing footprint can be daunting, especially without the insights of a strategic partner.
