ABB Grain Limited
ABB Grain is a leading Australian agribusiness with a multi-faceted operation and international focus. The company’s diverse range of services spread across the entire supply chain, including accumulation, storage, malt, processing, logistics, fertiliser, agricultural chemicals, financial services, marketing, ship chartering and trading.
New to the company in 2006 was the acquisition of seed specialist Graintrust in December, as well as the introduction of a Pastoral and Rural Services business unit concentrating on non-grain products and services.
ABB Grain’s history dates back to 1939 as the Australian Barley Board. Following privatisation in 1999 and ASX listing in 2002, in 2004 ABB merged with
South Australia’s storage and handling company AusBulk and its grower-owned holding company United Grower Holdings, to create the company that exists today.
