Bunge Vegetable Oil Processing Plant Expansion in Saskatchewan Headed Towards Fall Completion

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas). Bunge Canada, a division of Bunge North America (NYSE:BG) (Saint Louis, Missouri), has moved into high gear on the expansion of a vegetable oil processing plant in Nipawin, Saskatchewan. The company started construction on the $20 million capital investment last May and is progressing towards completing the project by November. Plans call for increasing the plant’s output of vegetable oil from 1,000 tons per day to 1,400 tons per day, while increasing its crush capacity and more than doubling its current refining capacity.

The Nipawin plant processes canola and high euricic acid rapeseed (HEAR) creating protein meal for animal feed and oil used by food manufacturers and for non-food uses like biodiesel.

Bunge awarded Diaser Management, Limited (Winnipeg, Manitoba) a design-build contract. Diaser is moving forward with the last of several civil and mechanical packages this spring.

Industrial Info released a project report in January 2006 detailing Bunge’s plans and schedule for the Nipawin expansion. The Nipawin plant is among six Bunge processing facilities in Canada including two in Manitoba, one in Alberta and Ontario and another in Saskatchewan. Industrial Info’s Industrial Plant Database lists over 7,000 major operational plants in the Food & Beverage Industry in the U.S. and Canada, including key management contacts and related company information.
