What They Needed
Eric Jenks, Wilbur-Ellis
“Our goal was to put together a facility that would allow us to better serve our customer’s needs with speed, precision and accuracy. Our ever changing market demands and transportation concerns were drivers in our process,” said Eric Jenks, property development manager for Wilbur Ellis Co.’s Miller, SD, facility. “After many ‘brainstorming’ sessions with our Project Team, we developed a facility that could handle our dry and liquid fertilizer storage and blending needs for the future. We contacted Stueve Construction to put our ideas into a plan. Russ Buscher and Steve Anderson were instrumental in bringing our ideas to a building solution that not only met our expectations but exceeded them.”
Stueve has built numerous facilities for Wilbur-Ellis over the years and we know their people, said Jenks. “Key features that we really like are the elevated control room visibility of the loadout area and alley, catwalk/micro bin and tower stair system, in-floor heat system and enclosed truck receiving. Our new facility has without doubt, sped up our input and output capabilities and precision blending.”
