Vision & Foundation
Intelligence, Quality and Integrity
With a wealth of knowledge and many years of experience, Dr. Renato Ribeiro began investing in farmland in Central Illinois in the early 1980s. As a businessman and entrepreneur in Brazil, he had owned various businesses, several soybean processing plants. He and his family moved to the United States with the prospect of constructing a new soybean processing facility. At the base of that vision were important factors such as strategic logistical location, vertical integration and opportunity for expansion. The company was founded on core values of intelligence, quality and integrity, which were instilled by Dr. Ribeiro. With his dream and the work ethic he established, we have become the world class company that you see today.
