WILLISTON, N.D. - Officials say a new pea and lentil processing plant in Williston is the largest of its kind in the Americas.
The president and CEO of Alliance Grain Traders, Murad Al-Katib, was among those on hand for Thursday's grand opening of the company's $7.5 million United Pulse Trading Inc. plant.
The plant was built to clean, peel, split and sort 75,000 metric tons of peas and lentils. Al-Katib said in a statement that the company plans a multiphase investment in the state.
Gov. John Hoeven said United Pulse has created 33 new jobs in Williston and five jobs at its headquarters in Bismarck. He said the company, which has roots in Turkey, has moved five Turkish families to North Dakota.
Hoeven's office said Saskatchewan-based Alliance Grain Traders Income Fund, the plant's parent company, is the world's largest lentil exporter with 13 other processing plants in Canada, Turkey and Australia.
