Fostoria Company Gets ORDC Grant

A Fostoria company has been awarded a $75,000 grant to fund an expansion of on-site rail infrastructure needed to accommodate a $9.5 million expansion of two facilities in the western Ohio city.

Mennel Milling Company said it will use the grant to expand facilities that will serve a new, national customer.

“Our project includes a rail spur coming off the Norfolk Southern Railway track to service one of our facilities and will allow us to rail flour directly to the facility for a large flour packaging operation across the street from the mill,” said Rob Hammer, logistics director at Mennel Milling. “We are making a $300,000 investment in the rail alone.”
