History: Abengoa Bioenergy was founded in Seville, Spain in 2000. Three years later, the company bought High Plains Corporation; an ethanol company founded in 1980 in Wichita, Kan., and moved its world headquarters to the St. Louis area to take advantage of the region's central location. With an aggressive research and development program, partnership with government agencies here and abroad and skillful trading in the ethanol and grain markets, the company continues to grow through new construction and acquisition, both here and abroad.
Distinction: The largest producer of ethanol in Europe, the second largest producer of ethanol in the U.S. and the only international ethanol company to be present in the world's three major ethanol markets. Abengoa Bioenergy's success can be attributed to its early entry into the ethanol market before it boomed. The company has invested time, resources and capital in its research and development program in order to ensure the evolution and improvement of the industry's technology in the future.
