C.L.D.P. was founded in 1994, and has since grown into an industrial operation, with plants in Lurin, and Trujillo, Peru. In the Lurin facility, the company focuses on the storage and shipping of grains, the production of animal feed, as well as the production of full-fat soybean meal. Out of the Trujillo facility, the company operates a soybean extrusion line, a corn drying and cleaning plant, as well as a grain warehouse.
In 2007, Seaboard Corp. joined Continental Grain as a joint partner in the C.L.D.P. business.
“This acquisition is consistent with Seaboard’s longstanding strategy of global integration with our wholly-owned grain trading operations. We operate grain and feed milling operations and related businesses in 42 locations in 23 countries, and those operations are primarily supplied by our commodity trading offices. C.L.D.P., with its leading position in Peru, is a key component of our presence in the region,” explained David Dannov, president of Seaboard Overseas Trading Group.
