Flint Hills enters third acquisition for the year, buys Georgia ethanol plant

September 8, 2014 |

In Kansas, Flint Hills Resources will acquire Southwest Georgia Ethanol’s plant in Camilla, Georgia. This will be Flint Hills Resources’ seventh ethanol plant and its first outside the Midwest.

The plant near Camilla opened in 2008 and has an annual capacity of 100 million gallons of ethanol.  It also produces more than 275,000 tons of dried distillers grains and approximately 25 million pounds of non-food grade corn oil each year. The plant employs about 60 people.

This will be the company’s fourth acquisition in the last year. As we reported last September, the company purchased an Iowa plant from Platinum Ethanol. Since then it has begun retrofitting a Southeast Nebraska plant and bought out Petrologistics. Flint Hills’ plants have a combined annual capacity of 650 million gallons of ethanol. The company is also the largest purchaser of ethanol in Minnesota.
