Californication: Wilmar ties up with Gavilon for Stockton facility

They will import and process palm, coconut and palm kernel oils to serve the California and neighboring West Coast markets.

Gavilon, in partnership with Wilmar International Limited, plans to construct an edible oil processing, transloading and storage facility in Stockton, California.

Alex Fox, director of strategy and development at Gavilon, said the tie-up will bring product and logistic offerings to the California market which are not available today. He said the combination of Wilmar’s raw material and processing strengths, Gavilon’s marketing and distribution capabilities, and a new, state-of-the-art facility will provide significant supply chain benefits for customers.

The facility will be located in the Port of Stockton and is expected to be operational by mid-2013. Centrally located in California, along Interstate 5 for convenient truck access, the facility will receive ocean bulk cargo vessels and connect with Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads.
