Grain Processing Corporation Selects Locus Technologies Software for Environmental Management

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 8, 2014) -  As part of its environmental sustainability program, Grain Processing Corporation (GPC) has selected Locus Technologies' (Locus') software platform to manage a variety of environmental policies for two of its corn wet-milling facilities. GPC manufactures, distributes, and markets high quality, customer-specified food, pharmaceutical, and industrial grade products.

GPC will use Locus to identify, track, and respond to all environmental media affected by the operations of two of its facilities: one located in Muscatine, Iowa, and the other in Washington, Indiana. Both of these facilities have numerous air emission sources, wastewater treatment facilities, and both Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements. With the assistance of Locus' web-based software, GPC can manage all of its processes, such as tracking permit requirements and meeting recordkeeping and reporting deadlines, in one central, user-friendly platform.

"When we were searching for a software management system, we needed it to be able to manage all processes for our two facilities, with the expansion option of up to 20 additional locations with differing recordkeeping, schedules, and reporting needs," said Mick Durham, Director of Environmental Services at GPC. "Locus met these specifications, and will allow us to manage our environmental data so that we can improve our environmental compliance and ensure that our company's business practices remain sustainable in the long term."

"Our recent success in deploying our software to several customers in food and agricultural industries proves its versatile nature: Locus' software goes beyond mission-critical compliance activities and provides a system for broader sustainability and resource management that ultimately leads to operating cost reduction," said Neno Duplan, President and CEO of Locus Technologies. "Locus provides a simple, integrated system, similar to ERP that manages all environmental, energy, water, and other sustainability needs under a single portal infrastructure and single sign-on online."
