We’re a corn dry-mill distillery located in Carrollton, Missouri, that operates 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Our feedstock is 20 million bushels of corn, all purchased from local farmers, maximizing local economic value in an environmentally responsible way.
SME began production in May 2008 and produced over 70 million gallons of alcohol annually. Upgrades to the distillation system were completed in April of 2021. Our new state-of-the-art system can produce over 20 million gallons of grain neutral spirits and allow for production at any proof and any blend.
The conversion of grain to alcohol also results in the production of 160,000 tons of animal feed annually. The animal feed is sold as dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and modified wet distillers grains with solubles (MWDGS). In 2012, SME began recovering distillers corn oil (DCO), an additional product that is sold into the animal feed and biodiesel markets.
