- The Andersons, Inc. operates as a diversified agribusiness company primarily engaged in commodity merchandising, renewables, nutrient and industrial sectors. Its core products and services include grain and oilseed merchandising for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and specialty crops; ethanol production through its ownership and operation of five ethanol plants refining corn into renewable fuel; nutrient products with next-generation fertilizers, soil amendments, and control products for golf, sports turf, lawn and landscape, and horticulture markets; industrial specialty products including nitrogen reagents, deicers, and anti-icers; railcar leasing and manufacturing of railcar components; packaging and distribution services; and pet products such as cat litter and animal bedding. The company also provides crop production solutions through farm centers, ag advisory services, and offers risk management tools for grain marketing. The Andersons markets its products and services across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, Switzerland, and other global markets. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Maumee, Ohio, The Andersons has expanded from a single grain elevator to an essential agribusiness with a strong commitment to service and innovation.
In recent years, The Andersons has focused on extending its Renewables segment, highlighted by its July 2025 acquisition of the remaining 49.9% interest in The Andersons Marathon Holdings LLC (TAMH) from Marathon Petroleum Corporation, gaining full ownership and operational control of four ethanol plants. This acquisition aligns with the company’s growth strategy in renewable fuels, providing immediate earnings accretion and operational efficiencies. The company continues to optimize its portfolio through integration initiatives of acquired businesses such as Skyland Grain and enhancing the efficiency of its Trade and Nutrient segments. In 2024, The Andersons also announced organizational changes to better align its commercial teams to improve customer service and operational performance. It actively pursues capital projects aimed at reducing carbon intensity in ethanol production and expanding its renewables footprint, reflecting a strategic shift toward sustainability and growth in emerging markets.
The Andersons operates through three primary business segments: Trade, Renewables, and Nutrient & Industrial. Its Trade segment primarily handles agricultural commodity merchandising and provides risk management solutions, including innovative pricing tools. The Renewables segment focuses on ethanol production and related fuel products, serving refiners, fuel blenders, and convenience stores. The Nutrient & Industrial segment manufactures and distributes a broad range of fertilizers, turf and specialty products, and industrial chemicals. The company serves diverse customers including farmers, livestock producers, feed mills, large multinational companies, and commercial turf and horticulture markets. With 2,299 employees and a strategic presence in North America and select international markets, The Andersons combines traditional agribusiness capabilities with modern renewable energy development and specialty product innovation to maintain a competitive position in the evolving agricultural economy.
