Liverpool

Cargill has a number of operations in Liverpool, including a soybean crush and refinery, a rapeseed crush and refinery, an imported feed ingredient terminal, a cotton trading office, and a chocolate and compound production site.

Cargill’s soybean crush and refinery based in Seaforth, Liverpool has been operating since 1986. The plants produce high protein soybean meal, soya hulls, crude soya oil and crude tocopherol (vitamin E).

Cargill’s rapeseed crush plant and refinery based in Brocklebank, Liverpool has been operating since 1995. The crush plant produces mid protein meal and crude rape oil and has facilities to outload oil for export.

The crush products are developed for various implementations in food (e.g. catering), biodiesel and animal feed. The Seaforth and Brocklebank refineries process the crude vegetable oils further for food chain and technical uses.

Cargill also owns and operates the imported feed ingredient terminal (S2) at Seaforth Dock. In 2009/10 the throughput for the S2 terminal was approximately 650,000 metric tonnes.

The crush plants, refineries and S2 terminal are managed from the Witham St Hughs office in Lincolnshire where Cargill also undertakes merchandising and trade risk management.
