British Sugar plc is a UK-based processor of domestically grown sugar beet and a major producer of refined sugar for food, beverage, and industrial customers. The company operates manufacturing sites in eastern England, including Bury St Edmunds, Cantley, Newark, and Wissington, supplying both bulk ingredients and retail sugar (marketed under the Silver Spoon brand).
Beyond sugar, British Sugar manufactures co-products such as bioethanol, betaine, animal feed, and soil and liming products (e.g., LimeX), and it generates electricity via combined heat and power at certain sites. These activities support efficient use of raw materials across its production chain. British Sugar is part of AB Sugar, the sugar division of Associated British Foods plc.
