AgConnex, a company that connects regional grain producers across the New South Wales Riverina to end users with storage, handling and transport solutions, has acquired the Carrathool grain complex in the western Riverina.
The Carrathool complex is located on a 22.6-hectare site and has approximately 95,500 tonnes of combined grain silo and bunker storage. Receivals include durum, hard wheat and barley from across the region, AgConnex said.
“We’ve been operating the Carrathool complex under lease for the past couple of years, making some essential upgrades over the past 12 to 18 months for better traffic flow and safety for the most recent harvest,” said Geoff Barker, chief executive officer of AgConnex. “With our purchase of the facility now official, we will accelerate our plans to further develop and modernize the site. Our goal is to ensure the site fully meets the needs of our grower clients in the local area.”
With the acquisition now complete, Barker said AgConnex will be in contact with local producers to discuss plans for the site and gather input on what ways the company can support their short-term and long-term needs.
“We are committed providing a seamless supply chain experience for grain growers in the area,” Barker said. “Investments like this are crucial to both our and our customers’ success. We’re looking forward to growing the opportunity for everyone.”
