    Sugar industry

    Raw and refined

    Sugar has always been one of Control Union’s core commodities. With our presence in all major sugar-producing countries, we provide a wide range of analytical and inspection services for raw and refined sugar, both in bulk and bagged.

    Our inspection services cover every stage of the supply chain — from vessel loading supervision at the country of origin to discharge monitoring at the port of destination. We ensure accurate weight and quantity determination, sampling and sealing, cargo condition surveys, stock monitoring, and full outturn guarantees. With our global expertise and local presence, we help protect the value of your sugar cargo and ensure smooth and transparent trade operations.

    In addition, our laboratories perform comprehensive testing to verify the quality and safety of sugar in line with international standards.
