ADM公司

????早在上世紀(jì)初，ADM公司創(chuàng)始人喬治?阿切爾與約翰?丹尼爾就開始聯(lián)手做起了亞麻籽油壓榨生意,。從那時(shí)起，ADM公司就開始在業(yè)內(nèi)嶄露頭角。上世紀(jì)90年代,，公司因價(jià)格操縱丑聞而被媒體曝光，從此進(jìn)入公眾視野,。2009年上映的一部電影《告密者》（The Informant）即取材于ADM公司的價(jià)格操縱丑聞,。

????不過,，到2009年，公司已從一定程度上挽回了些聲譽(yù)——2009,、2010,、2011年連續(xù)三年榮膺《財(cái)富》食品行業(yè)最受贊賞公司。

????ADM公司主要因玉米加工業(yè)務(wù)而為人們所知,，但它的經(jīng)營范圍遠(yuǎn)不止于此,。例如，公司依然在從事亞麻油及其它油籽的壓榨,。盡管在去年,，美國旱災(zāi)使農(nóng)作物收成受到影響，也使公司主要運(yùn)輸渠道密西西比河水位下降,，但ADM受到的影響有限,，因?yàn)楣井a(chǎn)品的全球需求較旺。

????ADM公司也是全球最大的磨粉企業(yè)之一,，擁有每分鐘加工20英畝小麥的產(chǎn)能,。如果你偏愛甜食，ADM公司是世界上最大的可可制品生產(chǎn)企業(yè)之一,，在可可粉市場占據(jù)大約16%的份額,。如果你養(yǎng)豬、馬,、魚或其它動物,，ADM公司還生產(chǎn)用于喂養(yǎng)這些動物的玉米和大豆制品。

ADM

????Archer Daniels Midland Company has been around since the turn of the century, when George Archer and John Daniels went in together on a business based on crushing linseeds. ADM (ADM,Fortune 500) has flown under the radar aside from a press spike when it got caught up in a price-fixing scandal during the 1990s, which was featured in the 2009 movie The Informant.

????By that time, the company had somewhat righted its reputation — it was ranked the Most Admired company in the food Industry on Fortune's 2009, 2010, and 2011 lists.

????ADM is known primarily for its involvement in the corn industry, but its reach extends far beyond that. ADM still crushes linseeds and other oilseeds, for example. In fact, strong global demand for those products protected the company this past year from drought problems in the U.S. that hurt harvests and lowered levels on the Mississippi River, a major ADM shipping channel.

????ADM is also one of the largest milling companies anywhere, processing 20 acres of wheat per-minute, all over the world. If you've got a sweet tooth, ADM is one of the largest cocoa product producers and owns roughly 16% of the ground cocoa market. If you raise pig, horse, fish or any of several other animals, ADM cranks out the corn and soy-based products to feed them.
