Sugaright

What Sugaright does

Sugaright is the liquid sugar refining division of CSC Sugar, a privately held sugar trading and distribution company headquartered in Westport, CT. Founded in 2009 (with the parent CSC Sugar making its first liquid sugar delivery from El Paso, TX in July 2006), Sugaright operates a network of seven state-of-the-art micro-refineries across the United States — Fairless Hills PA, Harrisonburg VA, Covington TN, Cincinnati/Springfield OH, and Dallas/El Paso TX — plus one in Juarez, Mexico. The company produces a range of liquid sucrose and liquid cane sugar products, including the flagship Sugaright 350 (the de facto industry standard for dairy, non-dairy creamers, plant-based beverages, coffee creamers, condiments, bakery, and cereal applications), Sugaright 150 (light-colored beverages and confectionery), and BevRight Natural Liquid Cane (brewing and beverage applications).

The company's core technical differentiator is its proprietary Selective Separation refining method, which the company reports saves approximately 80% of the energy required by traditional sugar processing while maintaining product consistency and purity, yielding a carbon footprint of roughly 27.15 kg CO2/MT sugar versus ~190 kg CO2/MT for traditional water-white granulated sugar. This is paired with a micro-refinery strategy that locates production close to customer manufacturing sites, reducing transportation costs and lead times. Sugaright's product portfolio is complemented by a GHG Emissions Calculator and a multi-credentialed sustainability program spanning SQF Level 3, Non-GMO Project Verified, Bonsucro, Fairtrade, Kosher, and Sedex certifications.

Sugaright generates revenue through direct B2B contracts negotiated with regional sales managers (Northeast, Great Lakes, Southwest), inside-sales support via a customer resources portal, a 12+ year channel relationship with the All Star Purchasing GPO, and integration with parent CSC Sugar's commodity trading desk for supply risk management. Pricing is quote-based and contract-negotiated, not publicly disclosed. The company is led by CEO/President Andy Moschea, with founder Paul Farmer serving as CEO of parent CSC Sugar; it has received industry recognition including the 2023 All Star Purchasing Supplier of the Year award and a 95.17% average SQF audit score in 2022. No public revenue, funding events, or M&A activity are disclosed.
