Koch Fertilizer Canada cut the ribbon on its new $33-million headquarters in Brandon May 4.
The facility, which was planned with office space for 100 employees, expands the company’s presence in the western Manitoba city, where it has operated facilities for the last 55 years, company executives said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The company announced the project in 2019, saying at that time that it was part of $130 million in investments to the Brandon site that have been planned over five years.

Sharing stories to promote Canadian farm safety
Personal stories can sometimes go farther than facts and data to promote safe practices on Canadian farms, Canadian Agricultural Safety Association conference attendees hear.
The company has said the new headquarters will centralize previously scattered, off-site site staff and “bring together operations, logistics, and sales and marketing under one roof.”
Elected officials, including Manitoba Finance Minister Cameron Friesen, Premier Heather Stefanson and Brandon Mayor Rick Chrest were on hand for the official building opening.
The building was initially projected to open in late 2020.
