Connecting global supply and demand

We leverage our strategic partnerships to help create end-to-end supply chains for customers around the world.

We connect soybean and pea consumers in Asia with farmers in North America. Marine and animal processors in South America have access to our growing global feed markets. Farmers in Canada are connected to distilleries and food manufacturers throughout the globe.

Our extensive experience across the food and feed supply chain allows us to offer tailored solutions. We can safely and reliably deliver agricultural products to more than 50 countries. We can also use our expertise to handle imports for U.S. customers. Just leave the origination and documentation up to us.

The scoular difference:

A proven network

We connect producers with processors and processors with end users. Our entire focus is on sourcing the best products and engaging the best markets for your needs, not ours.

Long-term vision

We work to build strategic partnerships that can last for years to come. So when disruptions arise, we prioritize long-term strength over short-term wins.

Honest solutions

We don't break contracts. We deal with real agreements, and even if plans change, we find flexible solutions to ensure that everyone wins.

Broad expertise

We offer a range of services beyond trade, so we understand the products, the market and the trends driving supply and demand. Our supply chain involvement and visibility makes it possible for us to anticipate customer needs, make connections, open markets and navigate disruptions as they arise.

Container reliability

We've been shipping agricultural products like grain, soybeans, food ingredients and animal feed ingredients in containers for more than 30 years. Throughout this time, we've continuously improved our processes and systems to meet the utilization needs of freight providers, documentation and compliance needs of all stakeholders, and on-time shipping schedules for our end-use customers.

Partnership

From facilities to carriers to technology, we have a history of investing alongside our customers in order to bolster your success and expand our offerings.

Customer story

Bridging soybean demand in America and Asia with a new facility

In 2013, we recognized a need in the IP soybean market for greater quality and volume. The market was demanding consistent shipments, traceability and increased food safety systems so we got to work on a solution: a new facility outside of Chicago.

Scoular’s Andres facility is a state-of-the-art grain cleaning facility that helps us service IP soybean and corn customers throughout Asia and the United States. We contract single-variety soybeans for tofu, miso, soymilk and other food products with farmers. Then we manage storage, cleaning and shipping to Asia.

Adding this facility allowed us to be a supply chain manager to our customers, so food manufacturers could concentrate on producing and marketing their products.

Custom marine protein solutions

Encompass is our global fishmeal business that identifies custom marine protein solutions based on your unique product specifications. Through our expansive supply network, we can source more than 15 different species from over 40 countries and regions all year long.
