Four words describe ADM’s integrated global transportation system: flexibility, efficiency, reliability and quality.
Our agricultural transportation system is a world leader. Access to this vast transportation network provides the flexibility to move ADM’s assets with great efficiency wherever and whenever they are needed. Our export and distribution centers in North America, South America, Europe and the Far East enable the ADM network to reach the world’s major agricultural markets.
In agricultural transportation, quality is essential because it impacts the profitability of our customers. Their products must make it through the transportation process in superb condition to receive the best price from market participants. ADM’s access to a complete transportation system meets the highest standards for quality, safety and reliability, allowing for a quick and effective response to a customer’s shipping needs.
ADM and its subsidiaries own and operate more than:
- 23,500 railcars
- 700 trucks
- 1,600 tractor trailers
- 1,700 barges
- 7 ocean vessels
ADM’s multi-faceted fleet provides the capability to transport products over river, rail, oceans and land on a global scale. If one mode of transportation reaches a bottleneck, ADM has the flexibility to haul that product via other means. More than one mode of transportation is often employed to better serve a customer, underscoring the importance of our vertically integrated structure to coordinate the process in a timely and efficient manner.
