Company History

Founded in 1865 by William Wallace Cargill in Conover, Iowa, Cargill grew from a single grain warehouse into a multinational corporation through mergers and acquisitions, including a pivotal partnership with the MacMillan family in the early 20th century. Over more than 150 years, the company has expanded dramatically, entering global markets and diversifying its product and services across food, agriculture, financial, and industrial sectors. Its long history and family ownership (through the Cargill-MacMillan family) ensure stability and a long-term orientation.
