Approximately 55 team members at the Creston facility became employees of White River when the transaction closed on Feb. 13, 2024. Plant operations will continue seamlessly to meet contractual obligations to customers at both ends of the value chain, from farmers to protein consumers.
The Creston facility processes both non-GMO and GMO soybeans to produce soybean meal, soy white flake, flour, grits and soybean oil for domestic and global markets for use as food and feed ingredients and the foundation for the production of concentrates, isolates, and textured soy protein products. White River, headquartered in Omaha, Neb., separately purchased Benson Hill’s soybean processing facility located in Seymour, Ind., on Oct. 31, 2023, and announced in Dec. 2023 it had been selected to develop an oilseed processing facility near North Platte, Neb. The company is supported by agricultural-focused investors, and its team has decades of experience in grain processing, from plant operations to risk management and finance.
