Ag Growth International Inc. (\u201cAGI\u201d) on June 9th announced a multi-million dollar investment in its Clay Centre, Kansas facility to add U.S. production of 4-inch corrugated farm grain bins and strengthen its North American manufacturing network.<\/p>\n

The project is part of AGI\u2019s long-term strategy to align production with customer demand across key grain-growing regions\u2014enhancing responsiveness, increasing production speed, and delivering high-quality storage solutions closer to the U.S. farm customers<\/p>\n

AGI\u2019s Clay Centre facility currently produces a wide range of grain handling equipment, including augers, bin unloads, bucket elevators, towers, catwalks, portable and stationary chains and paddles, as well as incline drag and En Masse conveyors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project reflects AGI\u2019s commitment to strengthening and balancing our North American manufacturing footprint around where our customers operate,\u201d says Paul Brisebois, President and CEO of AGI. \u201cAdding bin capacity in the heart of the U.S. grain belt aligns production closer to the customer\u2014improving responsiveness, strengthening supply chain resilience, and enhancing how we serve farmers and dealers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Clay Centre expansion brings farm storage production back to the United States\u2014strengthening AGI\u2019s ability to serve customers with greater speed, efficiency and consistency. Together with AGI\u2019s St. Boniface, Manitoba facility, it will increase overall bin capacity and create a more flexible, integrated North American manufacturing network.<\/p>\n

Beyond its operational impact, the bin expansion reinforces AGI\u2019s long-term commitment to economic development in Clay Centre, Clay County and the State of Kansas.<\/p>\n

Mike Baker, Plant Manager, AGI Clay Centre, says the expansion will support regional workforce growth as new capabilities come online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting step forward for our team and our community,\u201d says Baker. \u201cWe expect to begin bin production in the Spring of 2027, creating new jobs and building on the strong foundation here at Clay Centre to support continued growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Clay Centre facility has a long history of manufacturing excellence. Established in 1958 as Hutchinson Manufacturing, Inc., the site became part of AGI in 2017. In April 2026, the facility earned AGI\u2019s highest safety recognition\u2014the Safety Standout Award\u2014for achieving three consecutive years with no lost-time injuries.<\/p>\n

The investment supports long-term growth while reinforcing AGI\u2019s role as a reliable domestic manufacturer and trusted partner to farmers across North America.<\/p>\n
