To support our growth , Sugar Foods constantly reinvests in enhancing its business capabilities
Andrea talks us through Sugar Foods ’ evolution . “ Having recently celebrated our 75th year in business , last year also marked the achievement of another remarkable milestone . Indeed , it was found that Sugar Foods ’ products are consumed an average of 1250 times per second ( or 100 million times a day ) across the entire US market , encompassing restaurants , cafes , drive-throughs , stores , offices , and households . Our journey began in Brooklyn , New York , where one of our founders , Donald Tober , sold 50-pound bags of sugar to luncheonettes . From there , the business expanded into nationwide distribution of sugar packets and other sweeteners to restaurants , marking the true inception of Sugar Foods as we know it . Despite increasing our product categories , customer segments , number of employees , and manufacturing technology , our commitment to delivering the best products and services to our customers has remained unchanged since day one . What started as a small family business has evolved in size and complexity , yet we have retained the entrepreneurial spirit and customercentric culture that sets us apart .”
In 2023 , Sugar Foods was purchased by a private equity business , making a tremendous impact on the company ’ s operations .
