Vitol Inc. (“Vitol”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired full ownership of Mid America Agri Products / Wheatland, LLC (“MAAPW”) and its parent company, Mid America Bio Energy & Commodities, LLC (“MABE”).
Vitol has been a shareholder in MAAPW and the exclusive marketer of MAAPW ethanol since 2018.
This acquisition reflects Vitol’s ongoing commitment to the renewable fuels sector and its confidence in the future of ethanol as a key component of the energy transition. By integrating MAAPW and MABE fully into its portfolio, Vitol aims to further strengthen its position in the North American biofuels market and continue delivering value to its customers and partners.
“We are grateful for the strong relationship we have built with MAAPW and MABE over the past several years and are excited to continue working with the current teams,” said Justin O’Rourke, Business Development at Vitol Inc. “We look forward to building on this foundation and driving continued growth and innovation in the renewable fuels space.”
This moment carries deep personal meaning for me,” said Sandra Lundeen, Co-Founder of Mid America Agri Products. “Since Bob’s passing in May 2023 (Late MAAPW Founder), I often reflect on what we built together. He would be thrilled to see the company carried forward by a partner like Vitol, and I know he would be proud.”
