Südzucker Company Description
Südzucker knows you can't get blood from a turnip, but it definitely knows you can get zucker (sugar) from a beet. Producing some 5 million tons of sugar a year, the company is one of the world's largest sugar producers. Südzucker and its partially owned affiliate, AGRANA, and subsidiaries, Raffinerie Tirlemontoise and Saint Louis Sucre, make frozen entrees and pizzas; bakery additives such as fruit concentrates, starch products, and sugar substitutes; food-portion-control containers; and bioethanol. Southern German beet farmers control Südzucker's largest shareholder, Süddeutsche Zuckerrüben-Verwertungsgenossenschaft ("SZVG"), which holds more than 55% of company shares.
