Description

The Cuban-American Sugar Company incorporated in New Jersey in 1906 was a venture associated with the American Sugar Refining Company operating mills in Cuba. In 1924 the company ran a total of 5 mills in three different provinces. The company survived at least into the 1960s when it acquired a controlling interest in Florida Sugar Corporation and held a stake in American Crystal Sugar.
