With its sugar, special products, starch and fruit segments, Südzucker Group is a global player in the food industry. With its CropEnergies (CE) segment, it is the leading European producer of renewable ethanol for fuels, beverages, food and cosmetics. In addition, a subsidiary for the production and marketing of bio-based chemicals was founded in 2024. Networking and cooperation – with universities, start-ups and other companies – are essential for Südzucker on the path to defossilization and have been promoted for some time.
