Chesterfield, Missouri-based Bunge Limited, the international agribusiness and food supplier, previously announced in August, 2019 that it was consolidating headquarters operations and moving its global headquarters from White Plaines, New York to the site of its 4-story, 145,000-square-foot custom-built North American headquarters in Chesterfield, Missouri. The move which will impact approximately at least 67 workers, is expected to be completed by in the second quarter of 2020.
According to Bunge’s CEO, Greg Heckman, “While St. Louis is already an important hub for Bunge and our current North American operations, the city is also home to a number of food, agriculture, animal health and plant science organizations and customers. Moving the global headquarters to a location where Bunge has a major business presence is a big step forward in shifting the company's operating model to align around a more efficient, streamlined global business structure. 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 allow."
A company spokesperson further noted, “This move enables our corporate team to be more integrated into our daily business operations and will give employees greater career growth opportunities. The move is in line with the strategic steps we’re taking to ensure we remain efficient, effective and competitive in today’s evolving market."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
