Decatur, Illinois

ADM has been a member of the Decatur, Illinois, community since 1939, when we began construction on what was then the world's largest solvent extraction plant. Today, Decatur is home to ADM's North American Headquarters and is the single largest location and employee base across ADM's global footprint. More than 4,000 colleagues work here in Decatur every day to unlock the power of nature to enrich the quality of life for billions around the world.

Our colleagues in Decatur are not only dedicated to their jobs, but they are also passionate about making an impact and giving back to this community. Since 2020, we have contributed more than nearly $5 million to great causes in the Decatur area, and we continue to invest in and lead programs that help address food security, sustainability, and health and well-being.

ADM is continually investing in our Decatur operations and facilities, and our work to bring world-class, innovative new technology and partners to the region has helped position Decatur as one of the country's most important strategic hubs linking Midwest production to domestic and export markets around the globe. In 2025 alone, we made $285 million in capital investments across our Decatur operations, and as we look forward, planned projects and investments could support more than 6,200 jobs and $1 billion in economic output in Macon County.
