OEL expands with purchase of P&H Ltd.’s Centralia site

Ondrejicka Elevators Ltd. (OEL) has purchased P&H Limited’s Centralia assets.

Mike Ondrejicka, owner, said they took possession of the site Aug. 1 and will spend the next few weeks developing an integration plan for their operation.

The facility expands on OEL’s current six-million-bushel storage capacity and 100,000 bu./hour receiving capabilities, which are split between its Exeter and Lucan operations.

The privately owned grain elevator company employs 20 full and part-time workers and handles corn, soybeans and wheat.

Under P&H Ltd., the Centralia Grain Elevator and Crop Input site provided a pre-seed to final shipment service, including a full line of seed, fertilizer and crop protection products and a custom application business covering producers within a 50-kilometre radius.
