We are the most important sugar mill in Ecuador

The mill is located in Cantón La Troncal, 76 km from the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador's main port. Three million bags are produced each year, each bag containing 50 kilos of sugar, elaborated from the grinding of 1,500,618 tons of cane, obtained from 23,262 net hectares of cane both from own plantation and from third parties.

HISTORY Go up

Projecting into the future

The mill is situated in the province of Cañar, founded in 1963 from the union of French-Ecuadorian capital, but only four years later it started its first season with a production of two million bags annually. Back in the day it was considered the most modern mill in South America.

In the seventies it was nationalized and in 1994 it returned to private hands, after being acquired by an Ecuadorian group.

In 2004 the mill began a project to generate electricity using processed sugar cane waste. At the same time it began to invest in the purchase of turbo generators in order to improve the electric power generation system. From that time to date, it provides more than 30 MWH to the Ecuadorian electricity market every year.

In mid 2008, the mill was seized by the Ecuadorian government. After three years of state administration and two auctions, it was acquired in October 2011 by Grupo Gloria (Peru) and Peña y Jarrín (Ecuador), entrepreneurs with experience in the industrial, agricultural, service and transportation fields.
