ADM is expanding its Scottish logistics network with new deep-water storage and berthing capacity at the Port of Greenock. Integrated with its existing Glasgow hub, the expanded infrastructure aims to increase handling capacity and strengthen supply chain resilience for imported feed ingredients across regional agricultural markets.

Global agribusiness major ADM has announced an expansion of its Scottish supply chain footprint through a partnership with Peel Ports Group at the Port of Greenock. The deep-water location will operate alongside ADM’s existing site at King George V Dock in Glasgow to establish a more integrated logistics corridor along the River Clyde. 

The added berthing and storage capacity is structured to enhance import, storage, and distribution capabilities for key raw feed materials. The move comes amid evolving market dynamics in Scotland, where livestock producers and feed manufacturers increasingly rely on efficient port infrastructure to secure imported feed inputs.

Highlighting the operational focus of the project, Jonathan Lane, managing director of ADM Agriculture Ltd and ADM UK Country Manager, noted the strategic role of the new infrastructure. "Expanding our footprint from Glasgow to Greenock is an important step for ADM's operations in the region," said Lane. "The additional capacity and logistics capability will help us operate more efficiently, strengthen supply chain resilience and support our customers' evolving needs across Scotland." The Greenock facility is scheduled to become fully operational later this year. 

The investment underscores a broader sector focus on port-centric feed logistics, where deep-water access and multi-terminal flexibility are becoming critical to buffering regional livestock industries against global supply chain disruptions.
