The Andersons, Inc. operates as a diversified agriculture company offering a broad range of products and services to farmers, retailers and industrial customers. Through its Grain Group, the company purchases, stores, merchandises and transports corn, soybeans and other commodities, while its Renewables Group produces ethanol and distillers grains at multiple plants in the U.S. The Rail Group provides locomotive leasing, railcar repair and related maintenance services, and the Horticulture Group supplies turf, specialty and horticultural products to landscaping professionals and consumer lawn and garden retailers.
Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Maumee, Ohio, The Andersons has grown from a regional grain elevator operator into an integrated agribusiness platform. Over the decades, the company expanded into retail lawn and garden centers, entered the renewable fuels industry in the early 2000s and established railcar leasing operations, positioning itself to serve customers across North America. Its facilities span the United States and Canada, including grain elevators along major Midwest rail lines and ethanol plants in key corn-producing states.
The company’s executive team is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Gregory E. Anderson, a third-generation member of the founding family. Under his leadership, The Andersons continues to pursue strategic investments in infrastructure, technology and sustainability initiatives aimed at enhancing supply-chain efficiency for agricultural commodities. Governance is overseen by an independent board of directors with experience in agriculture, manufacturing and financial services, supporting the company’s commitment to responsible growth and operational excellence.
