Cargill anticipates facility to open in 2025

REGINA, Saskatchewan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cargill, a global leader in oilseed processing, today announced it has surpassed the 50 percent completion milestone in the construction of its new canola facility located at the Global Transportation Hub in West Regina, Sask. Cargill broke ground on the facility in July 2022 and anticipates opening in 2025. The new facility will have the capacity to process 1 million metric tons of canola per year, producing crude canola oil for food and biofuel markets and canola meal for animal feed.

“The addition of the Regina facility to the Cargill network will play a critical role connecting the Canadian canola industry to the expanding domestic and global market opportunities for vegetable oil, high quality meal and biofuels,” said Jeff Vassart, president of Cargill Canada. “The current construction environment is full of unique challenges and this project has faced many headwinds since we broke ground, but we are committed to becoming a best-in-class option for canola growers in the region, along with helping decarbonize the global food and fuel supply chain.”

To support rail and road infrastructure around the new plant, Cargill recently completed the purchase of just over 400 acres near the Global Transportation Hub. This will allow for better connection to existing rail lines, providing efficient access to destination markets for both meal pellets and canola oil. Additionally, this will mean the site has additional optionality to bring canola seed to Regina when needed, providing a new destination for farmers in western Canada.

Cargill offers a full suite of solutions for farmers across western Canada – from grain marketing and advisory services to crop inputs and agronomic expertise. Canadian canola growers can maximize the value of their canola through a variety of programs. Learn more at CargillAg.ca.

Cargill is committed to providing food, ingredients, agricultural solutions, and industrial products to nourish the world in a safe, responsible, and sustainable way. Sitting at the heart of the supply chain, we partner with farmers and customers to source, make and deliver products that are vital for living.

The Red Dot Award is a globally recognized competition that celebrates innovative products that significantly impact their respective fields. A panel of expert judges worldwide evaluates each submission, selecting only the most outstanding products demonstrating exceptional design quality. This year, 18,000 entries were reviewed, and only a select number of designers and manufacturers were bestowed this prestigious award as a badge of honour that recognizes excellence in design.

Traka’s Touch Pro line of intelligent key cabinet systems has been recognized for its design excellence. The latest design features a sleek, modern build that makes it easy to assemble, install, and configure in almost any space. Traka’s engineers have prioritized sustainability, creating a more robust, reliable, and secure solution that sets a new standard for the industry. The updated design offers extra depth and height, providing more room for organizing keys and access cards.

Perla Munhoz, Global Head of Product Design at ASSA ABLOY Group commented, “Winning the Red Dot award for our Traka Touch Pro fills us with immense joy, confirming we’re on the right path. In a market of similar boxy designs, our intelligent key cabinet stands out with its functional and elegant design, respecting both its environment and users. This success highlights our team’s talent, innovation, and dedication, transforming a mundane design into something extraordinary.”

Further commenting on the achievement, Mike Rimmington, Senior Vice President & Head of Key and Asset Management, ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions, said, “I am thrilled that our Touch Pro series has been recognized as a 2024 Red Dot Winner for innovation. This award reflects our team’s dedication and expertise at Traka, making a significant impact in the industry. I am grateful for our customers’ trust as this recognition validates our mission to provide innovative solutions that improve lives. This award reaffirms our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, and we will continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible with our technology. My heartfelt congratulations to our entire team. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Traka.”

Wayne Stant, Product Director for Traka added, “We knew following in the footsteps of the popular Traka Touch key cabinet range was going to be no small feat. Designing the Traka Touch Pro required a monumental team effort, involving insight from right across the business, ASSA ABLOY Group, our partners and most importantly, our customers. Accomplishing this in the middle of a pandemic was amazing to be part of and is now being rewarded with market success. We’re delighted to receive the prestigious Red Dot award as an extra validation of all our hard work.”
