Winnipeg-based Parrish & Heimbecker, Limited (P&H), has significantly expanded its grain and crop input footprint across Western Canada.

The company has announced the acquisition of 10 Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) locations across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The Manitoba locations include Rathwell and Virden.

“This is an incredibly exciting day as P&H continues its investment in assets and terminals to provide farmers with local, best-in-class products and support, backed by a growing national grain asset network,” says John Heimbecker, Chief Executive Officer, P&H. “This is a win-win for farmers seeking a more competitive grain and crop inputs offering as well as for the stakeholders within P&H and LDC who work to support them.”

P&H has invested heavily in assets and terminals to create a National Grain Asset Network, including new grain elevator construction and export terminal expansions and upgrades.

“Providing farmers with increased variety and more powerful combinations of crop input solutions is more important than ever as we look to drive yields and overall performance,” says Heimbecker. “Acquiring geographically strategic assets from a global leader like LDC makes us better and stronger by an order of magnitude.”

P&H employs over 1,500 people and has 40 locations coast to coast with customers in 15 countries.
