Tereos TTD, a. s.

What Tereos TTD, a. s. does

Tereos TTD, a.s. is the largest producer of sugar and alcohol in the Czech Republic, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tereos, a French agricultural cooperative group specializing in sugar, starch, and ethanol production. The company traces its sugar production tradition to 1831 and runs six production facilities across Central Bohemia: two sugar factories at Dobrovice and České Meziříčí, a packaging center at Mělník, and three distilleries at Chrudim, Kojetín, and Kolín. Headcount exceeds 500 employees. Annual nameplate capacity is 350,000 tons of refined sugar and 1.425 billion liters (14.25 million hectoliters) of ethanol.

The company's underlying technology is integrated sugar beet processing: a single agricultural raw material — sugar beet — is fractionated into refined sugar, beverage- and industrial-grade ethanol (also used in automotive cosmetics and biofuel), and agricultural co-products (animal feed and fertilizers) that are returned to farms. This vertical model is designed to monetize the entire beet crop with minimal waste. The Dobrovice site operates as both a sugar factory and distillery, indicating co-located processing for feedstock and energy efficiency.

Tereos TTD sells directly via a quote-based B2B motion to enterprise customers (large food and beverage manufacturers, biofuel buyers, automotive chemical makers) alongside a direct-to-consumer and SMB channel for household retail sugar, bakeries, and confectioneries. Distribution covers both the domestic Czech market and international exports. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company maintains long-term supply partnerships with regional sugar beet growers, who supply the raw material that underpins the entire production chain.
