Primient

Last week, Primient hosted the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) on Emerging Biotechnology at our Decatur, IL facility as part of the commission's Biotech Across America Roadshow. We were thrilled to highlight our site’s biomanufacturing capabilities for attendees who are invested in the growth of the bioeconomy. Commissioner Paul Arcangeli and Senator Tammy Duckworth joined industry leaders and innovators for a roundtable at the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory, where our team—Tim Fowler, Ismael Nieves, Eric Lee and Mark Palmer—shared how Primient is advancing biomanufacturing in Central Illinois. Primient is committed to supporting the bioeconomy through innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. Thanks to all our guests for a great tour and productive conversation.

We were pleased to welcome Juliano Tavoloni, Procurement Manager, and Fernando de Carvalho Melo, Procurement Supervisor, from Ajinomoto do Brasil  to our Primient office in São Paulo.   During their visit, we explored future market opportunities across Brazil and the Southern Cone, reinforcing our shared commitment to innovation and long-term impact. Thank you to the Ajinomoto team for the engaging discussions and continued partnership. We look forward to what’s next!

Primient is attending World Bio Markets' Bio Innovations Midwest in Omaha, NE, which kicks off today! This engaging event brings together leaders committed to advancing the bioeconomy. We're excited to join conversations focused on accelerating the commercialization of industrial biomanufacturing in the U.S. Reach out if you would like to connect with Eric Lee from our business development team during the conference!

This past weekend, Primient was honored to be recognized on the field during Purdue University’s Ag Day football game at Ross-Ade Stadium. Lafayette Plant Manager, Travis Montoya, joined our fellow sponsors on the field for the celebration. We’re excited to support the Boilermakers all season long! 🏈 #GoBoilermakers #PrimientProud

Guided by our values, Primient strives to support access to safe, nutritious food for every table. Recently, a few of our team members in Decatur, IL volunteered at The Good Samaritan Inn, helping prepare and serve nearly 200 meals for the local community. From the kitchen to the serving line, our team proudly demonstrated the same commitment to food safety and service that guides us at Primient.   #RootedInService #Primient

Primient’s annual Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security (EHSS) Training Day was recently held at the Asmark Institute Agricenter in Bloomington, IL. Our Grain team from 13 grain elevators across Illinois and Indiana had the opportunity to collaborate, strengthen skills, and engage in hands-on training. Starting with a safety moment and closing with leadership reflections, the day exemplified our core value of safety—ensuring our people are equipped, prepared, and supported every step of the way.   #PrimientProud

At every Primient location, our teams are #RootedIn service! Most recently, a group of volunteers at our Dayton, OH facility packed 256 senior boxes for the Dayton Foodbank. These meals will be distributed to low-income seniors during drive-thru events or be delivered to local assisted living centers. Our longtime partnership with the Dayton Foodbank has involved volunteering, food drives, and supporting the nonprofit’s compost program. Earlier this year, Primient was recognized as the organization’s Partner of the Year, a true honor. We look forward to many more opportunities to make a difference in Dayton together!

During this year’s Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL, our team hosted John Bode, President & CEO of the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) and his team for a tour of our facility and a productive discussion.     Together, we explored Primient’s latest capital investments, plant improvements, and the exciting role biomanufacturing plays in strengthening the future of agriculture and manufacturing. We’re grateful for CRA’s leadership and collaboration in driving our industry forward.  

As we approach #LaborDay weekend in the U.S., we pause to recognize the dedication, resilience, and achievements of workers across the country—and especially those who make Primient’s mission possible every day. Labor Day is a tribute to the labor movement and the pursuit of fair wages, safe conditions, and opportunity. At Primient, we’re inspired by this legacy and guided by the belief that no matter how far we’ve come, there’s always room to grow. Here’s to celebrating progress, reflecting on accomplishments, and setting bold goals for the season ahead. Wishing everyone a safe and restorative Labor Day.
