BRANDT began construction on a new facility in Lexington, IL, in late 2020.

BRANDT Lexington uses this KSi seed treater to coat customer seeds with insecticides and fungicides.

The Lexington facility features a new platform for loading nurse tanks.

Shuttle boxes containing seed are stacked to the roof in the facility’s seed warehouse.

The facility has many stainless steel and fiberglass tanks manufactured by Precision Tank installed.

Late in 2020, BRANDT began construction on a new facility in Lexington, IL. The upgraded and newly expanded outlet features all the latest products and services grower-customers have come to expect from the CropLife 100 company. The enhancements to the BRANDT Lexington location include constructing a new office building, increasing dry fertilizer storage capacity, and expanding the company’s seed treatment capabilities and seed warehousing.

On a recent trip in central Illinois, the CropLife staff had the chance to see this new facility for ourselves and here are some photo highlights from that visit.
