ADM marks 120 years of creating nutrition's future

ADM, formally known as Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, marked its 120thanniversary on September 30.

The company was incorporated on September 30, 1902, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the United States, as a regional linseed oil business.

Today, ADM – with 41,000 employees serving customers in nearly 200 countries – is an indispensable global agricultural supply chain manager and processor, a premier human and animal nutrition company, a trailblazer in groundbreaking solutions to support healthier living, a cutting-edge innovator in replacing petroleum-based products and a leader in sustainability, the company said.

"Over the past 120 years, our company has evolved from a regional startup into an irreplaceable leader providing needed nutrition to billions around the globe,"  said Juan Luciano, chairman and chief executive officer of ADM. "We've transformed at many moments along the way, but unlocking the power of nature to enrich lives has always been at the heart of everything we do.

"Every day, our 41,000 colleagues demonstrate our purpose and our values, not only by feeding the world, but by building a stronger, better future, whether through innovations in sustainability, or our commitment to the communities where we work and live. I'm proud of the work they've done and the journey we've taken together, and I'm excited about our bright future."

To celebrate the milestone, ADM held a Fight Hunger Challenge to bring its employees from around the world to raise money for hunger relief.

ADM Cares also donated 1.2 million meals in partnership with the World Food Program, Feeding America and Food Banks Canada.
