GROWMARK has completed its move to a new corporate headquarters in Bloomington, Illinois.
A little more than a year ago, GROWMARK’s purchase of the building from Country Financial was announced. Illinois Farm Bureau, Country Financial and GROWMARK are all located on a shared campus east of Towanda Avenue in Bloomington.
“This new building represents an exciting page in our history as we begin looking toward celebrating our 100th anniversary," said GROWMARK CEO Mark Orr. "Just as exciting, this short move maintains our connection to the Illinois Farm Bureau campus, while enhancing our space to provide employees with a modern and efficient working environment. The benefits of our new facility will also help us provide greater service to our customers and position GROWMARK to continue to be a premier employer in the Bloomington-Normal community."
Today, GROWMARK employs around 498 employees at the Bloomington office.
GROWMARK and Country Financial both have rich histories with the Illinois Farm Bureau. The companies have worked alongside each other for more than 95 years to serve farmers and communities in Illinois and across the U.S. Together, Illinois Farm Bureau, Country Financial and GROWMARK are committed to a strong, sustainable future in order to serve members and clients/customers into their second century of collaboration.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for October 17.
GROWMARK is an agricultural cooperative serving almost 400,000 customers across North America, providing agronomy, energy, facility engineering and construction, and logistics products and services, as well as grain marketing and risk management services. Headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, GROWMARK owns the FS trademark, which is used by member cooperatives.
