distinctive yellow bags of Domino® Sugar would become the
highly recognizable packaging of granulated sugar that
consumers trust for their sweetening needs.

Domino® is primarily made in our three refineries located in

Yonkers, New York; Baltimore, Maryland; and Chalmette,
Louisiana. Our Yonkers Refinery, which was built in 1893,
provides more than 350 direct jobs and is an economic
engine for the local economy. The New York facility

packaging lines.

Underneath our Baltimore Refinery’s iconic neon sign is a

state-of-the-art facility capable of producing more than 6
million pounds of sugar per day. The Maryland refinery, which
will soon celebrate its centennial in 2022, employs more than
500 employees and supports an additional 125 jobs through
trucking, terminal operations, cargo handling and ship
piloting.

Our Chalmette Refinery, which has been operating on the

banks of the Mississippi River since 1909, produces 7 million
pounds of sugar per day, which it packages into 70 types,
grades and package sizes of premium sugar products. The
Louisiana refinery is one of the region’s largest employers,

sugarcane was originally grown and harvested.
C&H® Sugar is primarily made, packaged and shipped from
the Crockett Refinery in northern California. Twenty-five
sugar ships per year deliver 800,000 tons of raw sugar to the
facility, where it is refined and packaged into more than 100
grades and package sizes of premium sugar products that
are shipped by truck and rail throughout the western United
States. The Crockett Refinery employs 465 people and
