Wilbur-Ellis Acquires Aerial Application Business In Texas

Wilbur-Ellis Co. has acquired the assets of Nueces Ag, an aerial business strategically located at the Nueces County Municipal Airport in Texas due to its proximity to a bustling agricultural area. The facility will serve as a home location for the company’s aerial application business in Texas’ Coastal Bend-area. The acquisition will also consolidate customer services in the area as Wilbur-Ellis continues to expand its aerial customer base in Nueces and San Patricio counties.

Wilbur-Ellis, known for its aerial application business across its operations in the U.S., will use the new aerial resources in the area to increase its existing capabilities for serving customers. The facility is located in a very successful agricultural area that demands significant utilization of aerial application services.
