"The Sucro team delivered a strong operational performance in 2023, which included valuable contributions from our US-based Lackawanna refinery during its first full year of operations," expressed Jonathan Taylor, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sucro. "The addition of our new refinery capacity has had the desired effects – significant growth in our refined volumes and higher per ton profitability, the combination of which supported a 48% year-over-year increase in our Adjusted EBITDA."
Taylor further commented "Our expectation in 2024 is to deliver further production growth from our existing operations while executing our refinery expansion plans. Our investment program for the year is focused on construction activities for our new refinery in Hamilton, and on advancing our recently announced new cane refinery at our University Park site in Illinois. Our teams remain highly focused on capitalizing on the strong, steady growth in sugar market demand we see on both sides of the border to deliver profitable growth to our shareholders."
