Scoular
Scoular (/ˈskuːlr/), formally The Scoular Company, is a corporation based in Omaha, Nebraska dedicated to the buying, selling, storage, handling, transportation, and processing of grain, feed and food ingredients, and manages transportation and logistics worldwide. The company was founded in 1892 by George Scoular and was owned by the Scoular family until its purchase in 1967 by Omaha businessman Marshall Faith, who served as CEO for the next 23 years. At the time of Faith's purchase Scoular had 10 employees and operated three grain elevators, but grew considerably over subsequent decades and is one of the largest grain storage and handling companies in North America.

In 2019, Scoular founded Petsource by Scoular™, an indirect, wholly owned and independently operated freeze-dried pet food ingredient manufacturing subsidiary.

In 2020, Scoular was ranked one of the top 10 exporters in the world. They are one of the top 100 on Forbe’s list of America’s Largest Private Companies.

Scoular employs over one thousand people and operates across 100 facilities in North America and Asia. In 2020 Scoular reported $4.6 billion in annual revenue and more than one billion bushels traded./
