Fox River Valley Ethanol

Fox River Valley Ethanol works toward a better tomorrow for consumers, for local grain-marketing companies, for farmers, and for our community. We process locally grown corn to generate a renewable resource, securing energy independence while creating other useful products for agriculture and industry. All the while we’re providing jobs that bolster the local economy. Construction on the original 20-million-gallon plant near Oshkosh started in 2002. Under the Utica Energy banner, this plant opened for business in 2003. Almost immediately, customers signaled the need for additional capacity, so by 2004 the plant expanded to create 40 million gallons of ethanol yearly. Adding a grain dryer in nearby Pickett in 2005 gave the plant the ability to add value to wet meal created by ethanol processing. Including a second grain delivery location, GB Elevator, in Green Bay in 2011 expanded our ability to secure corn needed to maintain a round-the-clock production system. Ace Ethanol acquired all Utica Energy facilities in 2013, infusing our operation with new dedication for efficiency, capacity, and top-quality products. Members and a member board of directors include farmers and local investors who understand the value of a local grain marketing opportunity that results from renewable energy processing.
