Global Grain Inc. in Plum Coulee has been sold to Globeways Canada.

Global Grain specializes in exporting dry edible beans from growers in southern Manitoba to buyers around the world.

Marcos Mosnaim is a grain trader/manager with Globeways.

He explained why they decided to purchase the Plum Coulee company from previous owner Frank Reimer.

"We see a lot of opportunities...We see a lot of potential and we think that the fact that we are a strong company and with Frank there we can make a difference helping growers to bring their product to the final customers around the world."

The sale, which was completed a couple of weeks ago, will see Reimer maintain 25 per cent of the company.

Globeways Canada is part of the Hakan Group, which is based out of Dubai.
