The American Sugar Refining Company was founded in 1891 through the consolidation of several sugar refineries, becoming one of the largest players in the U.S. sugar industry. Under the leadership of Henry O. Havemeyer, the company quickly rose to dominate the market, controlling over 90% of domestic sugar refining by the turn of the 20th century. They were one of the original Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Its immense power led to it being dubbed the “Sugar Trust,” and it became a central figure in early antitrust litigation, including the landmark 1911 Supreme Court case United States v. American Sugar Refining Co. 

By the 1960s, American Sugar Refining had become a fixture in both industrial and consumer markets, refining and distributing sugar under various well-known labels. It was around this time that the company was reorganized and eventually rebranded, setting the stage for its next incarnation as part of the conglomerate that would become known as Domino Sugar.

Today, American Sugar Refining lives on through ASR Group, a global sugar refining powerhouse that owns brands like Domino, C&H, and Florida Crystals.
