Feb. 13, 2012 Source: J.R. Simplot Company news release The J. R. Simplot Company has acquired Eastside Chemicals, Inc., a key provider of agronomic products and services for citrus growers on the east side of the San Joaquin Valley in California. The acquisition by Simplot, a large privately held food and agribusiness firm based in Boise, Idaho, demonstrates the company's commitment to California agriculture, according to Dave Dufault, head of the Simplot Grower Solutions organization. "This purchase represents a signal to California growers that Simplot is bullish on agriculture in their state, and we will continue to invest in California agriculture to support their needs," he said. The former Eastside Chemicals business will now be able to provide customers with a broader scope of products, services, and technology as part of the Simplot Grower Solutions network, which includes 23 other units throughout the state. "This new unit meshes very well and is complementary with the support system we already have in place for citrus growers in the area," said Peter Niboli, director of California Retail for Simplot Grower Solutions. "Our goal is to exceed our existing and new customers' expectations with superior expertise, technology, and service." The new Simplot business unit is located near Orange Cove. The J.R. Simplot Company, a privately held agribusiness firm headquartered in Boise, Idaho, proudly brings earth's resources to life with an integrated portfolio that includes phosphate mining, fertilizer manufacturing, farming, ranching, cattle production, food processing, food brands, and other enterprises related to agriculture. Simplot's major operations are located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and China, with products marketed in more than 40 countries worldwide.
