CHS公司

????僅憑公司名稱CHS，我們很難猜到它的主營業(yè)務。然而，CHS涉足許多盈利頗豐的行業(yè)，包括石化產(chǎn)品、食品和金融服務。CHS原名北太平洋谷物種植者聯(lián)盟（North Pacific Grain Growers），自1929年成立以來，一直屬美國農(nóng)業(yè)合作社所有。2003年，公司名稱從Cenex Harvest States Cooperatives改為CHS公司，旗下能源業(yè)務仍保留Cenex名稱，并且為投資者提供優(yōu)先股和無表決權股。

????目前，CHS并不一定是它所涉獵的任何一個領域里的領頭羊，但在相當多的行業(yè)里，它卻能沖到第二名或第三名的位置。CHS是美國第三大谷物出口商和丙烷零售商，并且和大型散裝人造奶油供應商Ventura食品公司成立了一家合資公司。雖然遠不能與埃克森美孚（Exxon）這樣的全球石油巨頭媲美，但CHS的成品油（如汽油和柴油等）年銷量已經(jīng)超過了30億加侖。

CHS, Inc.

????You can't tell by the company's name what it does, exactly. CHS Inc., however, has its hands in a wide range of lucrative industries -- petroleum products, chemicals, food and financial services. The company is owned by United States agricultural cooperatives and has been ever since it was founded in 1929 as the North Pacific Grain Growers. In 2003, it changed its name from Cenex Harvest States Cooperatives to CHS Inc., keeping Cenex as the name for its energy business, and offering preferred stock and non-voting ownership to investors.

????Today, the company is not necessarily the No. 1 player in any of the categories it's involved in, but sweeps in at second or third place in a variety of categories. CHS is the nation's third largest U.S. grain exporter, and the third largest U.S. propane retailer. It has a joint venture with Ventura foods, a major manufacturer of bulk margarine. And while it is by no means up there with the Exxons of the world, CHS sells more than 3 billion gallons of refined fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
