GreenField (Tiverton)
GreenField is the leading specialty alcohols producer in Canada, with a focus on corn-based bulk industrial alcohol, packaged alcohol and fuel ethanol, as well as associated agricultural co-products. The Company has a leading market share of industrial alcohol and is also the largest ethanol producer in Canada, with an export business in grain neutral spirits. The Company also manufactures and sells co-products of the alcohol production process, including Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS), Wet Distillers Grains (WDG), corn oil, and carbon dioxide (CO2). The Company has a diversified product offering, generating 45% of its gross profit from bulk industrial alcohol, 35% from fuel ethanol, and 20% from packaged industrial alcohol. GreenFieldÂ’s original plant in Tiverton, Ontario is an ideal testing site for research and development projects because the plant ferments ethanol in batches instead of continuously. This limits the impact of unexpected trial outcomes.
