Limako Suiker is an international trading house that exports and imports high-quality sugar. It is a company with an eye for personal contact, customization and with a good dose of flexibility. Adding value to the sugar chain, offering perfect logistics services and relieving its customers of worries, its ambition is broad. That ambition has been constantly evolving since 1968, when Limako Suiker was founded as a joint venture between Suiker Unie (51%) and ED&F MAN (49%). At the time, Limako was engaged in exporting sugar surpluses from the European Union to the world market, initially in large, conventional shiploads of 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes. In the 1990s, the company focussed on exporting smaller batches of sugar that were shipped just in time by sea container to customers at their final destination. When the EU sugar sector was reformed in 2006, a new era started for Limako. In addition to exporting white sugar from Europe to the world market, the company also started importing raw cane sugar to the European market. Today, Limako exports top quality white sugar to multinationals all over the world, supplies to local importers, as well as to food aid organizations. It also imports raw cane sugar for refining, direct consumption and inward processing. Cosun Beet Company (formerly known as Suiker Unie) became the sole owner of Limako in May 2021, when it acquired the remaining 49% of shares from ED&F Man. Limako provides Cosun maximum import-export flexibility and access to new business opportunities that have arisen since the EU sugar quota system was abolished.
