DECATUR - ADM (NYSE: ADM), a global leader in human and animal nutrition, today celebrated the opening of its new trucking six-bay, food-grade wash facility in Decatur, Ill.
Located at ADM's Transportation site, the wash bay will strengthen support for ADM's Decatur complex by ensuring trailers are consistently cleaned, sanitized, and ready to deliver on-time solutions for customers. Designed to operate 24/7, the development of the facility is a direct reflection of ADM's continued focus on reliability, customer service, and food safety.
While also improving wastewater handling and long-term operational efficiency for the site, the wash bay was designed to meet the latest food safety standards, including compliance with FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements and Kosher certification. The facility was completed in October 2025 and has been operational since late January 2026.
"We are very thrilled about the launch of our new wash bay. This facility represents ADM's commitment to ensuring that we can provide exceptional on-time performance," said Steve Finn, vice president, ADM Trucking and Logistics. "Our customers want to buy from a company that is committed to ensuring that their products are delivered in sanitary equipment, and this investment shows ADM's commitment to doing this better than ever."
"ADM has been part of the Decatur community for more than 85 years, and with more than 4,000 colleagues who live and work here, we're proud of the investments we've made to grow our operations, create jobs and accelerate the local economy," said Chris Cuddy, ADM's president, North America. "This truck wash follows on the heels of ADM opening multiple new, cutting-edge facilities like our Animal Nutrition Technology Center, our Protein Innovation Center, and the high-tech labs we now operate in the former Meda Pharmaceuticals building. Lots of communities today are competing for investment dollars and new jobs, and we're committed to continuing to work with partners in Decatur and across Illinois to ensure the business and regulatory environment here remains a strong one for future investment from ADM as well as other companies."
