Tate & Lyle North American Sugars Inc.
 PROFILE
For Tate & Lyle North American Sugars parting won't be such sweet sorrow. When parent company, Tate & Lyle PLC, bought Domino Sugar in 1988 it had higher hopes. However, US sugar prices soured and Tate & Lyle PLC is exiting the market altogether. The company marketed sugar under the Domino brand in the US and the Redpath name in Canada. Both brands include white, brown, dark brown, and confectioners sugars. As US sugar prices continued to dissolve during 2001 Tate & Lyle sold off its Western Sugar business to a grower cooperative. Shortly thereafter the whole company was put on the market, and is being sold to an investment group led by Flo-Sun sugar moguls Alfonso and J. Pepe Fanjul.
