- Highwater Ethanol, LLC (HEOL) produces and sells fuel-grade ethanol and co-products from the ethanol production process, including distillers grains and corn oil, primarily through third-party marketers in the continental United States. The company manufactures ethanol from corn and other grains as an octane enhancer, oxygenated fuel additive to reduce emissions, and gasoline substitute; distillers grains serve as high-protein animal feed supplements for dairy, swine, poultry, and beef industries; and corn oil functions as biodiesel feedstock, feed ingredient, and for industrial applications. Highwater Ethanol operates its facility in the bioenergy sector, targeting fuel blenders, livestock producers, and renewable fuel markets.
Founded in 2006 and headquartered at 24500 US Highway 14, Lamberton, Minnesota 56152, the company maintains a focused ethanol production model with approximately 43 employees and fiscal year ending October. It sources corn locally, employs natural gas for drying distillers grains, and provides investor resources including SEC filings and newsletters.
In recent developments, Highwater Ethanol reports strong demand for renewable fuels, with CEO Brian Kletscher highlighting projected Q3 2025 earnings of $2.60 to $2.64 per share, up from $2.01 in Q2 2025, amid favorable market conditions. The company sustains operational enhancements, including a prior production capacity increase without major capital outlay, and actively manages corn procurement through programs like its Fall 2025 DP initiative with prorated storage costs.[website] It continues monitoring biofuels sector dynamics, such as ethanol M&A activity and policy supports like E15, without reported acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic shifts in 2024-2025.[website]
