MICHIGAN SUGAR COMPANY Since our founding, more than a century ago, when six independent sugarbeet companies merged, Michigan Sugar Company has perfected the process of turning one of the region’s largest cash crops—the sugarbeet—into pure, all-natural sugar. Today, Michigan Sugar Company is the third largest beet sugar processor in the United States, producing an annual average of about 1.1 billion pounds of sugar. We sell our products in wholesale and retail quantities under the Pioneer® Sugar and Big Chief® Sugar brands. PURPOSE STATEMENT Making Life Sweeter. MISSION STATEMENT Creating Growth & Opportunity.
