Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), an American global food-processing and commodities-trading company, has unveiled its global headquarters and customer centre in downtown Chicago.
Nearly 70 ADM employees are based in the two-floor space in the former United Airlines building along the Chicago River at 77 West Wacker Drive.
About 50 of those employees transferred from the former headquarters in Decatur, with 20 more to be hired.
ADM's new headquarters includes a culinary facility for the company to showcase its portfolio of food ingredients.
Archer Daniels Midland Company chairman and CEO Patricia Woertz said, "As we continue to grow our company, this location allows us to more easily reach global markets, while keeping us in close contact with US farmers, customers and operations."
ADM operates more than 270 plants and 420 crop procurement facilities worldwide, where cereal grains and oilseeds are processed into products used in food, beverage, nutraceutical, industrial, and animal feed markets worldwide.
