History

Foundation

In 1929 the company Suikerfabrieken van Vlaanderen / Sucreries de Flandres was formed by a merger of: the Moerbeke Sugar Factory (Sucrerie et Raffinerie de Moerbeke-Waes); the Sucrerie Frantz Wittouck in Selzate; and the Sucrerie de l'Espérance in Snaaskerke.Шаблон:Sfn The Suikerfabrieken van Vlaanderen had its offices in Moerbeke. Its shares were divided equally between Finasucre and Raffinerie Tirlemontoise. In turn, Finasucre had a stake in Raffinerie Tirlemontoise.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1929, the holding Société Financière des Sucres (Finasucre) was formed. On foundation it had a share capital of 37,500,000 francs. The foundation was a consequence of the above merger. The holding was dominated by the Lippens family, which brought into Finasucre its shares in the companies that had been merged, but also the Escanaffles Sugar Factory.Шаблон:Sfn One of the goals of the company was to group the family shares.

Expansion

In the 1980s, Finasucre started to expand in the sugar industry. In 1982 it acquired the rest of the shares in the Moerbeke Sugar Factory. This was brought about by trading its share in Raffinerie Tirlemontoise for RT's share in Suikerfabrieken van Vlaanderen.Шаблон:Sfn In 1986 Finasucre acquired the listed company Sogesucre (owner of Compagnie Sucrière of Kwilu-Ngongo). It first bought the 26 percent participation of Finoutremer and then launched a tender offer for the rest of the shares. By the end of the 1986 Sogesucre disappeared from the Brussels Stock Exchange.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1987 Finasucre made plans to acquire Sucrerie de Frasnes, the owner of the Frasnes Sugar Factory. For this it had competition from Ferruzzi, which was then a leading sugar producer. In 1988 Finasucre won by paying about 1.5 billion Belgian Francs for Sucrerie de Frasnes.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1989 Finasucre founded the Groupe Sucrier / Suikergroep. The three sugar factories in Belgium, those in: Escanaffles, Moerbeke and Frasnes now became departments of Groupe Sucrier. The four Zairean companies of Sogesucre also became departments of Groupe Sucrier, of which: the Compagnie Sucrière with a sugar cane plantation of 15,000 hectares and 8,200 employees; the Compagnie Industrielle des Boissons with 850 employees; and Zaïre Trading and Engineering with 40 employees.Шаблон:Sfn In 1990 Groupe Sucrier closed its factory in Escanaffles, which in 1994 became the home of Galactic.Шаблон:Sfn In 2003 Groupe Sucrier would buy the Dutch factory Euro Star in Lelystad.Шаблон:Sfn

In 2000 Finasucre bought Bundaberg Sugar in Australia.Шаблон:Sfn

The other founders were Cosucra-Groupe Warcoing which brought in the Veurne Sugar Factory, and Couplet which brought in the Fontenoy Sugar Factory.Шаблон:Sfn The Congo-Kinshasa activities activities were not included in Iscal Sugar. In 2007 Groupe Sucrier had 62.6% of the Iscal shares and 60% of those in Compagnie Sucrière.Шаблон:Sfn

In 2004, 2005 and 2007, the sugar factories in Frasnes, Veurne and Moerbeke were closed.Шаблон:Sfn In October 2012 Finasucre squeezed out the minority shareholders (0.3%) of Groupe Sucrier, and then absorbed Groupe Sucrier into Finasucre.Шаблон:Sfn Finasucre then held 87.6% of the shares in Iscal Sugar.Шаблон:Sfn

Diversification

During the 2011/2012 accounting year, Finasucre bought 58.2% of the French company SGD, whose sole asset was an about 21% holding in the French company Naturex SA, listed on the Paris stock exchange.Шаблон:Sfn By 2013 Finasucre had 98.8% of SGD.Шаблон:Sfn The participation in Naturex was part of Finasucre's a diversification strategy.Шаблон:Sfn However, when prospects for the future were not good, Givaudan made a tender offer in 2018. Finasucre then sold its participation for 332.5 million EUR.Шаблон:Sfn

In 2016 the brick factory Kwilu Briques SARL was started in Kwilu Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
