Core offering

Incobrasa is a vertically integrated soybean processor that crushes approximately 43 million bushels of soybeans annually at its Gilman, Illinois facility to produce refined food-grade vegetable oil (sold under the Long Life brand and private label), B100 and B99.9 biodiesel via transesterification, and animal feed by-products including high-protein soybean meal and pelletized soybean hulls. The operation combines soybean receiving, oil extraction, refining, packaging and biodiesel manufacturing in a single facility with direct B2B sales to retail, government, agricultural and fuel customers.

Product overview

Incobrasa Industries is a vertically integrated soybean processing and biodiesel manufacturing company operating from Gilman, Illinois. The company processes 43 million bushels of soybeans annually, producing three main product lines: Biodiesel (44 million gallon annual capacity via transesterification), Vegetable Oil (packaged in sizes from 16oz to 1 gallon under Long Life brand and private label), and Animal Feed (soybean meal at 46.5-47.5% protein for poultry/pigs, plus soybean hull pellets for cattle). The operation processes 120,000 bushels per day, with every 60-pound bushel yielding approximately 44 pounds of meal, 11 pounds of oil, and 4 pounds of hull pellets. Founded in Brazil in 1982, the company expanded to the US in 1995 and operates crushing, refining, packaging, and biodiesel facilities.
