What Lantic does
Lantic Inc. is the largest Canadian-owned and operated sugar and natural sweetener company in Canada, operating as the primary operating subsidiary of Rogers Sugar Inc., which trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under ticker RSI. The company runs two production facilities: a cane sugar refinery in Montreal, Quebec (approximately 240 unionized workers under a collective agreement extending to 2031) and a sugar beet refinery in Taber, Alberta (approximately 120 unionized workers, agreement extending to March 2032), with the Taber facility operating under a long-term supply agreement with the Alberta Sugar Beet Growers. Lantic also operates Lantic Maple Inc. (branded TMTC), headquartered in Quebec and described as the world's largest producer of premium-quality maple syrup.
The company's product portfolio spans refined cane and beet sugar in granulated, brown, icing, yellow, liquid, organic, and demerara formats; specialty sweeteners including agave syrup, Rogers Golden Syrup, and Nature's RAW; and maple products including pure maple syrup, maple sugar, and maple crunch. Core technology is industrial sugar refining and maple syrup processing, with sustainability credentials maintained through Bonsucro membership. The company is mid-execution on the LEAP (Low Environmental Impact Expansion Project), a $280-300 million capital initiative adding 100,000 metric tonnes of refined sugar capacity in Montreal and Toronto, with $178.2 million capitalized to date and commissioning expected in the first half of calendar 2027.
Lantic generates revenue primarily through B2B direct sales of bulk sugar and sweetener solutions to food and beverage, industrial, and pharmaceutical sectors across Canada, with B2C retail distribution through grocery and foodservice channels for home bakers, professional chefs, and consumers. Pricing on the B2B side appears quote-based and is not publicly disclosed, while retail pricing varies by product format and size. The company markets through its lanticrogers.com website (with extensive recipe content for top-of-funnel consumer engagement), LinkedIn, YouTube, and annual ESG/sustainability reporting. Q2 fiscal 2026 reported consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $38.3 million, Sugar segment adjusted EBITDA of $33.4 million (up $5.8M year-over-year), sugar sales volume of 175,000 metric tonnes (down 12% year-over-year on tariff-related export weakness), and adjusted gross margin per metric tonne of $268 (up $74 year-over-year).
