Incobrasa covered hoppers

Incobrasa Industries Limited is a biodiesel manufacturing firm in Gilman, Illinois.[1] The firm was founded by Brazilian businessman Renato Ribeiro. Construction began in 1995 on a 2,000 ton-per-day soybean crushing facility, and the company started production in 1997. The company built on-site bottling and packaging facilities in 2004 in order to fill, label and package bottles of soybean oil for retailers.[2] The line can fill around 24,000 bottles per hour of soybean oil, known by consumers as vegetable oil.[3]

The company processes and distributes a variety of soybean products.[4]

The company leases a fleet of 100 5,259 ft³ covered hopper cars to transport soybeans to the plant. The cars are leased from First Union Rail Corporation and operate under reporting marks FURX and BRIX.[5]
