A newly hired rail trade team in Orlando, Florida, will extend Scoular’s reach across the United States and further enhance service to customers, the company announced this week.

Omaha-based Scoular announced it has hired a full trading and support team of nine employees from Central States Enterprises. The Orlando-based team will provide rail grain merchandising and supply chain solutions to Eastern U.S. customers. Internally, the group will be called the Eastern U.S. Rail Trading Team, complementing Scoular’s existing Western U.S. Rail Trading Team and its long history of providing services to central and western U.S. customers.

The new team extends Scoular’s geographic reach and furthers its commitment to meet customer needs through its diverse network of operations via truck, railcar and barge.

“This new team brings deep knowledge, energy, and outstanding customer service to Scoular and will help us to continue to better serve our customers and provide creative supply chain solutions,” said Ron Bingham, Scoular Senior Vice President and Grain Division leader. “Hiring this team is another example of Scoular investing in the growth of our core business.”
