SUCRO PROJECTING TO DOUBLE SALES FROM ITS LACKAWANNA SUGAR REFINERY

Sucro Ltd. has confirmed numerous sales bookings for 2024 that will be supplied from its new sugar refinery in Lackawanna, N.Y., which in aggregate are expected to double the facility's projected refined sugar sales for 2023. Some of the world's most recognized food and beverage brands are among Sucro's counterparties for this facility.

Sucro's Lackawanna sugar refinery is completing its first year of commissioning and making headway in increasing the facility's run rates toward its anticipated 350,000-metric-tonne annual production capacity. Based on its unique inland location for a cane refinery, low-cost capital structure and integrated logistics hub in Lackawanna, N.Y., Sucro is building sales from the Midwest to the East Coast. Supporting Sucro's United States-based refining and sales capabilities, in August, 2023, the company secured its U.S. sugar refiner's licence, which was approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

To date in 2023, the company has secured over 130,000 metric tonnes of confirmed sales bookings for deliveries to be made within 2024. These agreements build on the successful commissioning experienced through 2023 and the improvements to refinery output expected in 2024. These bookings include repeat business from current customers as well as major new bookings with leading multinational food and beverage customers. The projected sales from Lackawanna in 2024 are more than double the current sales anticipated in 2023, further emphasizing the significant commissioning progress of Sucro's newest refinery.

"Our team is capitalizing on the opportunity available in the sugar market to meet the supply requirements of our growing customer base with cost-effective sugar production and distribution capabilities," said Jonathan Taylor, founder and chief executive officer of Sucro. "Important new relationships have been added to our already-strong list of customers, and we look forward to working with each of them on a long-term basis to meet the growing demand for domestically refined sugar."

Sucro's mission is to be the leading alternative integrated sugar supplier in North America, leveraging its processing footprint and supply chain innovations to fully service its sugar customers. Sucro has established a solid base of manufacturing in both Canada and the United States and is the only sugar refiner in North America to have recently built a new sugar refinery in both the United States and Canada.

"Our employees at Lackawanna have made tremendous strides in ramping this new, U.S.-based refinery toward its full production potential," expressed Matt Dyer, managing director of Sweetlife Services. "Supported by positive demand dynamics in the U.S. market, our expanded domestic sugar refining capacity has attracted strong purchase commitments from many of the leading food and beverage brands."
