Archer Daniels Midland Company said on Friday it bought the remaining minority stake of Alfred C. Toepfer International for 83 million euro ($113.25 million), and will integrate Toepfer's operations into its own.

"We can now fully combine ADM's integrated supply chain, global origination network and risk-management expertise with Toepfer's strong global marketing and distribution capabilities," Joe Taets, senior vice president and president Agricultural Services, said in a statement.

Since 2002, ADM had owned 80 percent of Toepfer. Through Friday's transaction, ADM acquired the remaining stake from Union InVivo.
