Heniff Announces Development of High Volume Transload Facility

Strategic Ohio Location Creates Significant Service Options for Consumer-Packaged Goods Companies

OAKBROOK, IL, UNITED STATES, November 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OAK BROOK, IL – November 2, 2026 – Heniff Transportation Systems, LLC today announced that its affiliate Heniff Food Grade LLC plans to develop and operate a state-of-the-art custom sweetener transload facility dedicated to serving the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) industry. The facility will exclusively support the logistics needs of Cargill, Incorporated and its customers by providing specialized transloading, storage, and distribution services for sweetener products. The project is expected to strengthen regional supply chain infrastructure and provide strong service capabilities for food manufacturers throughout the market.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the Heniff organization,” said Bob Heniff, Founder & Chief Executive Officer. “Not only do we get to provide supply chain services to one of the largest food and agricultural companies in the world, we also gain the opportunity to showcase several of our core service offerings that further differentiate us from our competitors.”
The new transload facility will be strategically located just outside of Jeffersonville, Ohio between Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati. The site will be connected to Genesee & Wyoming’s Indiana & Ohio Railway, a Class III short line railroad with further connection to Class I rail lines. The site also offers immediate access to the Interstate Highway System via Routes 70 and 71.
“The new transload facility will allow us to continue seamlessly and reliably serving customers in the Ohio River Valley,” said Sarah Jelken, Cargill’s Managing Director Food North America. “Heniff has proven to be a strong and trusted operator, demonstrating the high food safety, quality, and service requirements that Cargill and our customers expect.”
The new state-of-the-art terminal facility will be constructed to transload a large volume of various sweetener-related products per year. Heniff is expected to provide product storage, rail transloading, bulk trucking, and tank wash services. Construction is slated to begin in the fall of 2026.
