AgroLiquid has opened a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Lake City, Fla., expanding the company’s production capacity and strengthening its service network across the Southeast.
The company says the new site is designed to improve product availability, shorten transportation times and help meet grower and retail partner demand during key points in the growing season. The facility adds production capacity closer to customers in the region as AgroLiquid continues to invest in its nationwide manufacturing footprint.
“Opening this facility is an important step in AgroLiquid’s continued growth,” said AgroLiquid President and CEO Nick Bancroft. “Lake City strengthens our ability to serve customers throughout the Southeast by helping reduce transportation time and get products into growers’ hands more efficiently. It also supports our company-wide goal of two-day order fulfillment, allowing us to better meet customers’ needs across the region.”
The Lake City facility can produce 3 million gallons of fertilizer annually, with future expansion plans expected to increase capacity to more than 15 million gallons per year. AgroLiquid says the 22-acre site also provides room to support future demand growth.
In addition to added production, the facility includes rail access, truck loading capabilities and expanded storage to improve logistics and product movement. Dedicated product lines are also designed to keep materials separate, reduce additional rinsing needs and support product quality and consistency.
AgroLiquid says the Southeast expansion is part of a broader effort to improve delivery reliability and ensure liquid fertilizer products are available when timing is most critical for growers and retail partners.
