American Sugar Refining Company

The American Sugar Refining Company, founded in 1891, was a major American corporation that processed raw sugar into refined, edible sugar products. It played a significant role in the sugar industry, controlling many refineries and distributing sugar for domestic consumption. Over time, it evolved into what is now Domino Sugar, a well-known brand. The company's operations included sourcing raw sugar from various countries, refining it in the United States, and marketing the final product to consumers and businesses. Its development reflected broader trends in industrialization and food manufacturing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
