Company profile

As a leading integrated group of companies with plant-based solutions for food, energy and other applications, we strive for a livable, healthy and sustainable world. More than 18,000 employees in our five segments are committed to being the leading partner for plant-based solutions on behalf of our customers.

  • Südzucker is a multinational corporation. Südzucker AG, based in Mannheim, is the parent company of the Südzucker Group and also the largest operating company. The group comprises the five segments sugar, special products, CropEnergies, starch and fruit. 
  • We process agricultural raw materials into high quality products, especially into food for industrial customers and end users but also feed and other products for the food and non-food industries. In this process, the raw materials are to a large extent fully utilized and refined. Our marketing focuses on business-to- business clients.
  • A strong ownership structure provides a reliable framework for the company’s development.

The range of Südzucker products

As a leading integrated group, we harness the power of plants to produce a wide range of products for many different areas of everyday life, including sugar. But Südzucker does much more in the areas of nutrition and energy, as well as packaging and cosmetics.

That is why our short film takes a look at a day in the life of Sarah. She guides us through the world of Südzucker and shows us the huge variety of products.
