ADM Statement Regarding East Plant Incident
Company statement as of 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 12:
As we continue the process to assess the damage to our processing complex in Decatur and begin the process to restore operations, our priority remains offering to support our four injured colleagues who remain in the hospital as well as their families. One colleague has been released. We are also providing counseling resources to colleagues on-site.
We are in the process of restarting operations at the corn plant and expect to resume normal operation levels in the coming days.
Raw material production capabilities at the East plant were impacted by the explosion. No damage occurred in the protein production area of the plant, and we are able to source raw materials from alternative facilities. We expect to restart the majority of protein production at the facility in the coming weeks. We will also leverage our vast transportation and origination network to meet customer needs until we can resume full operations at the plant.
Our investigation into the cause is ongoing.
