Südzucker AG
 PROFILE
Südzucker knows you can't get blood from a turnip, but you can get "zucker" (sugar) from a beet. The company is the world's largest sugar producer. Although its sugar operations account for about 60% of sales, Südzucker and its subsidiaries also make ice cream and frozen pizzas, pastries, and entrees. Its brand names include Alberto, Eismann, and Südzucker. More than half of Südzucker's sales are made outside Germany through subsidiaries and joint ventures throughout Europe. With the privatization of Poland's sugar industry, Südzucker has snapped up factories and expanded its presence there. A group of southern German beet farmers owns more than 50% of the company.
