New partnership strengthens North American high-purity alcohol supply chain with faster delivery and reduced trade disruption risks.
Greenfield Global is strengthening its position in the North American high-purity alcohol market through a new long-term agreement with Missouri-based Show Me Ethanol (SME), a move designed to provide customers with enhanced supply security, faster delivery times, and greater protection from potential market disruptions.
The agreement gives Greenfield access to U.S.-produced high-purity alcohol certified to United States Pharmacopeia (USP), Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), and American Chemical Society (ACS) standards. By adding Show Me Ethanol's Missouri production facility to its network, Greenfield is further expanding what it describes as the industry's most extensive high-purity alcohol supply system.
The partnership arrives as manufacturers across pharmaceutical, food and beverage, personal care, and industrial sectors continue to prioritize dependable domestic sourcing and resilient supply chains. Access to additional U.S.-based production capacity helps reduce exposure to cross-border trade volatility while ensuring customers have access to critical ingredients needed for growth.
For customers located throughout the Midwest, Southwest, and West Coast regions, the Missouri facility offers a strategic logistics advantage. Shorter transportation distances, combined with rail and tank truck distribution capabilities, are expected to improve delivery speed while providing greater flexibility in sourcing product.
Industry observers have increasingly highlighted the importance of geographic diversification within supply chains, particularly for specialty ingredients that support regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals and food production. The new arrangement allows Greenfield to increase regional supply availability while maintaining consistent quality standards across its network.
All high-purity alcohol supplied under the agreement will be marketed under the Greenfield Global brand and supported by the company's established quality management systems and more than three decades of regulatory expertise.
"Greenfield Global is widely recognized as the gold standard in high-purity alcohol, with 37 years of proven success in delivering consistent quality and supply at scale," said Brian Pasbrig, CEO of Show Me Ethanol.
"Through this alliance, we are combining our production capabilities with Greenfield's quality, logistics, distribution, and customer service standards of excellence to better serve customers across North America."
The companies say the collaboration will help meet growing demand while enhancing supply chain reliability for customers that depend on high-purity alcohol in critical manufacturing processes.
For Greenfield Global, the agreement represents an opportunity to extend its geographic reach and strengthen service capabilities across key U.S. markets without compromising quality or regulatory compliance.
"This agreement represents a meaningful step forward in our ability to serve customers across a larger geographic footprint while maintaining our standards of excellence across reliability, flexibility, and speed," said Howard Field, CEO of Greenfield Global.
"It reinforces our reputation as the industry's most dependable partner for high-purity alcohol across North America. We believe this collaboration creates a powerful platform for growth and positions both organizations to deliver greater value to our customers."
The agreement underscores a broader trend across North American manufacturing sectors, where companies are investing in supply chain resilience, domestic production capabilities, and logistics efficiencies to meet customer expectations for dependable delivery and uninterrupted access to essential materials.
With expanded U.S. production access and enhanced distribution coverage, Greenfield Global expects the partnership to strengthen its ability to serve customers across North America while supporting future growth opportunities in several high-demand market segments.
