“While we considered other global hubs, Chicago emerged as the best location to provide efficient access to global markets while maintaining our close connections with US farmers, customers and operations,” said ADM chairman and CEO Patricia Woertz. “Chicago also provides an environment where we can attract and retain employees with diverse skills, and where their family members can find ample career opportunities.”
Woertz added that ADM will continue to have a significant presence in Decatur, which will be designated the company’s North American headquarters, and that the company does not plan any layoffs in connection with the move to a new global centre.
