Scranton Equity Exchange has unveiled plans for a significant expansion of its grain handling operations. The project aims to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency at its Scranton, North Dakota, facility.
The expansion will boost storage capacity by 50% and slash car loading times in half. Additionally, the cooperative expects to more than double its truck receiving speed, increasing velocity by 2.5 times the current rate.
Shane Freitag, Board President of Scranton Equity Exchange, emphasized the cooperative's commitment to growth and relevance. "As ag producers, we have become more focused on precision and efficiency," Freitag said. "The Board is ensuring your investment in our coop continues to grow and remains relevant for the next generation of farmers and ranchers."
Ben Hetzel, General Manager and CEO, highlighted the importance of customer service in the cooperative's success. "These strategic improvements will benefit our farmers, employees, and global business partners," Hetzel stated.
The expansion project follows recent upgrades to traffic flow through the facility, demonstrating Scranton Equity Exchange's ongoing commitment to modernization and efficiency in serving its member-owners since 1914.
