CALIFORNIA AND HAWAIIAN SUGAR COMPANY

The 'California and Hawaiian Sugar Company' (C&H) was founded in 1906 and operated from 1921 to 1993 as an agricultural cooperative marketing association owned by the member sugar companies in Hawaii. In 1993, the member companies sold their interests in C&H to Alexander & Baldwin in Honolulu, and the refining company's status changed from a cooperative to a corporation. Alexander & Baldwin subsequently sold its majority share to an investment group in 1998, retaining a 40% common stock interest in the recapitalized company. In 2005, all the common stock shares were sold to American Sugar Refining (ASR), a company owned by Florida Crystals and the Sugar Cane Growers Co-op.
The C&H brand is one of the leading sugar brands in the company's markets. C&H's primary market is west of the Mississippi River in the United States, although some sugar is sold on the east coast. More than 100 types, grades, and package sizes are sold within the two major groupings of grocery and industrial products. The refinery at Crockett, California, refines, packages, and markets all of the output from Hawaii's sugar factories.
