ADM Announces Plans to Lay Off Workers
USAgNet - 07/26/2017

Archer Daniels Midland Co. is laying off an unspecified number of workers, the company confirmed last week. The Chicago-based global agribusiness giant, which has its North American headquarters and more than 4,000 employees in Decatur, said affected workers were being notified of 'reductions of certain positions.'

The company in a statement to the Herald & Review on Thursday evening did not say what category of workers would be affected or where they were located, reports the Herald & Review.

"This is part of an effort to ensure we have the right resources in the right places and continue to be an agile and streamlined organization focused on growth," said ADM spokesman Colin McBean. "Our priority during this process is the respect and care of our employees and, therefore, we are not sharing any additional details at this time."

ADM, which moved its global headquarters from Decatur to Chicago in 2014, has approximately 32,000 employees in 160 countries. It is by far the largest employer in Decatur, according to the city of Decatur's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which noted 4,199 jobs at the end of 2016.

The company, one of the largest agricultural processors and food ingredient providers in the world, reported net sales $62.3 billion last year.

News of the layoffs comes on the heels of ADM's first-quarter results, announced in May, which reported revenue of $14.99 billion, which missed Wall Street expectations of $15.15 billion. Earnings per share of 60 cents also missed Street estimates by a penny.
