Business description

ED & F Man Liquid Products - is the leading supplier of molasses and liquid products for feed and non feed use. Part of ED & F Man Limited (London), a privately-owned company involved in sourcing, delivery and distribution of Sugar, Cocoa, Coffee as well as providing liquid storage.

ED&F Man concluded a transaction on May 28, 2009 that resulted in the bulk liquid storage and animal feed manufacturing businesses, Westway Group, Inc. becoming a publicly traded company. This includes the terminal assets in North America, Europe and Asia in addition to the animal feed manufacturing sites in the United States, Canada and a joint venture in Australia. The total valuation for the Westway Group was $342 million. In addition to receiving cash consideration, ED&F Man will retain a 49% share holding in Westway Group, Inc. ED&F Man Liquid Products Corporation, previously known as Schuurmans & van Ginneken (SvG Group) and Westway Trading Corporation, has entered into a long-term storage and molasses supply contract with Westway Group, Inc.

The bulk liquid storage and feed manufacturing businesses were originally developed from our molasses trading and distribution businesses more than 20 years ago on the basis of the natural synergies that existed with the respective businesses. With the support of ED&F Man after their investment in Westway in 1992, these businesses enjoyed substantial growth. The new structure will facilitate continued growth of these businesses while still maintaining the synergies with our molasses trading business and our financial participation through our large share holding.
