Big Expansion at Greenfield Global in Johnstown

JOHNSTOWN – Greenfield Global is celebrating the completion of a $160-million expansion and 30-million-gallon alcohol production upgrade at its Johnstown distillery.

Plant manager Brendan Bland was joined by Greenfield officials and workers in late September for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting with Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark and MP Michael Barrett, as well as Edwardsburgh Cardinal Mayor Tory Deschamps and Deputy Mayor Stephen Dillabough.

Greenfield produces fuel-grade ethanol and manufactures and distributes specialty alcohols around the world. This facility upgrade increases the company’s overall production of high-purity alcohol to nearly 70 million gallons per year and adds 19 full-time jobs.
