Perdue Inc. plans to move the headquarters of its agribusiness unit from Salisbury, where the poultry company is based, to Seaford, Del.
The company said Tuesday it will build a new office building for the growing Perdue AgriBusiness at a still-undetermined site in the Delaware town, replacing a 40-year-old facility on Zion Church Road in Salisbury.
The new Seaford location is expected to house about 150 executive and support personnel for the wholly-owned subsidiary that processes and exports agricultural products such as grain, feed and fertilizer. All other Perdue AgriBusiness operations will stay in their current locations, including a grain operation at the Zion Church Road complex.
The move does not affect Perdue's main corporate headquarters in Salisbury, which is currently undergoing a $12.8 million renovation, the company said.
