- Cardinal Ethanol, LLC produces fuel-grade ethanol, distillers grains, corn oil, and carbon dioxide at its primary facility near Union City, Indiana, and sells these products throughout the continental United States and via exports; the company also procures, transports, and markets grain commodities, primarily corn for ethanol production and soybeans through its Trading Division. Ethanol serves as an octane enhancer, oxygenated fuel additive to reduce emissions, and gasoline substitute; distillers grains act as animal feed supplements for dairy, beef, poultry, and swine; corn oil functions as feed ingredient, biodiesel feedstock, and industrial input; carbon dioxide supports various gas applications. Founded in 2005 and headquartered at 1554 North County Road 600 East, Union City, Indiana, the company operates in the chemicals sector with 72 employees and trades publicly under ticker CRDE. In February 2024, subsidiary Cardinal Colwich acquired a Kansas ethanol production facility from Element LLC, assuming key contracts including a technology license, water agreement, and amended credit facilities with revolving and term loans secured by company assets. Eric T. Perry succeeded Jeffrey Painter as CEO and President effective October 15, 2024.
