Bunge announces headquarter shift to St. Louis region

The change is being made to make sure of “shared capabilities and enhance collaboration,”​ according to information from the New York-based grain trading company. The move is in the early stages and completion is anticipated by the latter half of 2020.

“We are grateful to have called White Plains home for many years, and now look forward to the new growth and development opportunities which our expanded St. Louis presence will provide,”​ he added.
