United Grain Corp. Acquires Grain Craft’s Pendleton Facilities

United Grain Corp (UGC), a Pacific Northwest grain exporter in business for 54 years, has agreed to acquire the Pendleton, Oregon facilities of Grain Craft which include a grain elevator, more than 19,000 square-feet of warehouse space, and accompanying property.

This deal follows a devastating fire last year that hit Grain Craft’s 100+ year old flour mill. Since that incident, the company has been working to remove debris and restore the site to a safe and operational state. Now that the cleanup is complete, UGC will take immediate ownership of the land and buildings.

UGC operates an integrated supply chain across five states that feed its flagship export holding - the Vancouver Export Terminal - located on the Columbia River. This acquisition will be complementary to UGC’s current network which includes other Oregon-based facilities in the area, and will support UGC’s McNary River Terminal by acting as a wheat satellite, positioning the company for growth through existing and new product lines.
