Gavilon to build edible oil processing facility in California
US-based Gavilon, a subsidiary of the Gavilon Group, plans to build an edible oil processing, transloading and storage facility in Stockton, California.
The company will collaborate with Wilmar International, Asia's leading agribusiness company, to import and process palm, coconut and palm kernel oils to cater to the California and neighboring West Coast markets.
Gavilon director of strategy and development Alex Fox said the company's partnership with the leading producer of palm and lauric oils brings unique product and logistic offerings to the California market which are not available today.
"The combination of Wilmar's raw material and processing strengths, Gavilon's marketing and distribution capabilities, and a new, state-of-the-art facility will provide significant supply chain benefits for our customers," Fox added.
The facility will be located at the Port of Stockton and is expected to go onstream by mid-2013.
Gavilon, based in Omaha, Nebraska, is involved in merchandising, distributing, and trading of agricultural and energy commodities in the US and internationally.
