Fast-Growing Sucro Speeds Up Sugar Distribution with Purchase of Operating Assets of Marigold, Inc.

The Sugar Producer is Expanding its Operations in Response to Rapid Business Gains

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – December 8, 2021 – To meet the growing demand for its sugar products, Sucro announces the purchase of the operating assets of Marigold, Inc, a distribution warehouse and transfer station strategically located in University Park, Illinois and Atlanta, Georgia.

These facilities in key areas of the country will provide ample storage space and direct access to rail and road transportation for quick turnaround times.

Sucro is taking the age-old sugar industry into the modern world with its innovative micro refining process, a model that is gaining favorability over its entrenched competitors.

It’s also in the midst of a rarely seen expansion, with a new sugar refinery going up at Sucro’s facility in Lackawanna, NY, on the site of the long-shuttered Bethlehem Steel plant.

“Sucro is rapidly growing its processing and distribution network of high value cane and organic sugar products and services, says Jonathan Taylor, CEO of Sucro. “Together with the recently announced sugar refinery in Lackawanna, this purchase will better position Sucro to support its leading organic sugar business, and other high value cane sugar services for its customers”

Products and services from these new locations will be provided under a newly-formed entity, Sweet Life Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sucro.

Sweet Life Services will focus on valued added services relating to organic and specialty sugars, and the distribution of cane sugar products.

“Sweet Life Services is ideally positioned to provide industry leading supply chain solutions across multiple platforms, including processing and warehousing for conventional cane, organic sugar and other specialty sugar products,” says Matt Dyer, Managing Partner of Sweet Life Services. “In addition, through its partnership with Amerikoa Ingredients, Sweet Life Services will also provide an enhanced and seamless service experience of other specialty ingredients”
