Cargill to expand Envirotemp dielectric fluids business in Europe

In Minnesota, Cargill announced it will expand its full line of ester fluids across Europe by mid-2013. The company will add manufacturing capacity to support its recently acquired brand of Envirotemp dielectric fluids, including the industry leading FR3 natural ester fluid. This portfolio of esters meets the specifications of a wide range of transformer applications.

To support this European expansion, Cargill will expand onto one of its current facilities in Western Europe. A sales and marketing team also will be added, and investments in technology and processing systems will be made as part of the expansion.  FR3 is a renewable dielectric fluid made from vegetable oil that is used in a wide range of applications for transformers and other electrical equipment.
