Minden, IA – August 27, 2024 – C&A Scales, a leading manufacturer and installer of NTEP-certified bulk weigh grain loadout systems, is pleased to announce a significant milestone in its recovery and growth journey.

The company’s dedication to excellence is evident through its comprehensive service approach, which includes 24/7 installation and support, truck-scale automation, and grain sampling systems.

The upcoming rebuild and expansion of C&A Scales’ facility represent a pivotal moment for the company, which was severely impacted by the tornado that struck Minden earlier this year. The support from the Minden City Council, Mayor, Clerk, Advance Southwest Iowa Corp, the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA), and numerous other resources has been instrumental in the company’s recovery and growth efforts. This collaborative support underscores the strong community spirit and commitment to rebuilding and advancing local industry.
