SCROLL

Beet-growing has been our raison d’être since our inception. Naturally, we have always produced sugar from beets, with conviction and passion, helping France become a European leader in this sector. We are also a pioneer in Europe in manufacturing alcohol and bioethanol through our distillation of sugar syrups. We cultivate this land sustainably and respectfully, passing it down from generation to generation. Every form of expertise we possess has been patiently acquired and locally anchored, in our own sugar factories and distilleries, in an integrated supply chain. And always with this same passion, and without over-diversifying or betraying our original ambition.
