GROWMARK is a regional cooperative providing products and services to member cooperatives,
distributors and customers between the Rocky Mountains and the East Coast of the
United States as well as in Ontario, Canada.
With nearly $8.6 billion (FY 2010-11) in sales, the GROWMARK System is flourishing.
GROWMARK is invested in five wholly or partially-owned subsidiaries, six retail
subsidiary divisions and holds controlling interest in several related endeavors.
The GROWMARK Energy Division offers a complete line of refined and renewable
fuels, propane, and lubricants. Proprietary products marketed under familiar brand
names such as United,™ Archer™ and FS have built a loyal following. Sales of Dieselex®
Gold, the flagship premium diesel fuel, are growing rapidly as users experience
the benefits of using the latest in fuel-additive chemistry. GROWMARK’s relationship
with key players in the industry and positioning on several major pipelines ensures
a reliable supply of quality liquid fuels and propane at competitive prices.
GROWMARK Energy Division’s lubricant manufacturing and laboratory facilities are located
in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Since GROWMARK manufactures and packages its own products,
it controls the inputs as well as the process. Lubricants produced at the Council
Bluffs facility consistently meet the highest quality standards. In fact, the facility
has achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification from the International Organization for
Standardization, signifying quality control of all business processes.
Recent renovations to the manufacturing and warehouse facility have added capacity and maximized efficiencies
in purchasing, manufacturing, packaging and distribution. Additional upgrades to
the in-house laboratory benefit quality assurance initiatives as well as the used
oil analysis program.
