The leading producer of sugar for the British and Irish food and beverage markets, British Sugar processes around 8 million metric tons of U.K.-grown sugar beet each year to produce up to 1.2 million metric tons of sugar. The company’s core offering is granulated sugar, but it also manufactures a wide range of other specialty products, such as icing sugars, brown sugars, and liquid sugars and syrups, among others.
With increasing consumer demand for its products and escalating sugar sales, the company recently replaced its 38-year-old end-of-line packaging equipment with new machinery from Sidel. According Sidel Account Manager Bastien Carcenac, Sidel custom-designed the solution for British Sugar, identifying its challenges to deliver a full end-of-line turnkey solution from the sugar bagging outfeed through to delivery at warehousing.
