GrainCorp has a long, rich history beginning in 1916.Originally part of the New South Wales Government's Department of Agriculture, GrainCorp was established as the Grain Elevators Board. In 1917 Canadian architect J.S. Metcalf designed a bulk grain terminal in the Sydney suburb, Glebe. Completed in 1922 it was Australia's first bulk grain terminal and was complimented by GrainCorp’s first elevator built in Peak Hill, 50 km north of Parkes, NSW. GrainCorp now trades commodities in its own right, with Marketing offices in Australia, Europe, Singapore, China, the UK and North America. GrainCorp Marketing now buys and sells more than 4.5 million tonnes of wheat, barley, sorghum and canola per year, servicing customers domestically and internationally.
