188 The partnership of Florida Crystals and Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida together account for 60 percent of the raw sugar produced in Florida, America’s largest sugar cane-producing state. In addition, these two companies have expanded dramatically, and now own ASR Group, the largest sugar refiner in North America. Besides C & H, ASR Group operates three other major refineries in the United States. All of these refineries use Western States equipment. Marketed under the well-known Domino Sugar® and C&H® sugar brands, the refineries are located in Yonkers, New York; Baltimore, Maryland; and Chalmette, Louisiana. In Canada, ASR Group operates the renowned Red Path refinery located in Toronto. In fact, the installations at the company’s many refineries throughout the globe make ASR Group our single largest customer. We’ve been proud to supply the products that have helped them meet the world’s demand for sugar and look forward to enhancing and strengthening that working relationship in the coming years.
