US Sugar Supplier ASR Group plans to end operations at one of the US domestic refineries.
ASR Group, who owns the Domino Sugar brand, is to close his Yonkers refinery in New York province by the end of the year.
The group said it was “making strategic active investments and optimizations for its business in the US”.
The refinery, located on a 22 -acre site along the Hudson River, has been in place for more than 130 years.
The group, which also owns brands including C&H crystals, Florida and Redpath, did not disclose to the production of the plant or how many workers could be affected.
Ars said the closure of the Yonkers site was “part of its strategy and investments” in its facilities in the northeastern US part.
Doug Romain, Senior Vice President of ASR and COO, said: “Our multi-year strategy includes major investments in procurements, building new facilities, expanding and modernizing existing assets as well as capital improvement projects and processes that make our operations and supply chain network even stronger.”
Last year, ASR bought the ingredients of the US sweetener company, with facilities in New York State and Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, ASR is investing in a new bulk transfer and liquid melting station in the north east of the US, which is expected to become operational next year.
The company is also expanding its Buffalo factory to double its size and has put refineries in Louisiana and Maryland ongoing operations to “gain more operational efficiency and improve sustainability”.
