Global food processing and agriculture company Cargill says it decided to keep its protein operations in Wichita, Kansas and will relocate its current headquarters to a new location within the city limits. The decision is dependent upon pending approval by the City of Wichita for an agreement between the two entities. The company’s move to a new office building is expected to take place by the end of 2018.
“Looking at our current office space situation in Wichita, we determined a change is required to meet our future needs as a customer-focused, talent-seeking, growth-oriented protein business, operating in a highly competitive business sector,” says Brian Sikes, Cargill corporate vice president for the company’s protein group. “So we embarked on a mission to identify the optimal location where the people responsible for success of our business will have the best opportunity to thrive.”
