Strange place, I believe, for the worlds largest refiner. Twice the capacity of C&H Inc and still growing.
Al Khaleej Sugar Company (L.L.C) (Authorised and Paid-up Capital AED 50,000,000: Commercial Registration No. 53836), Dubai was established in 1992 to set up a sugar refinery to cater to the ever growing needs of high quality refined sugar for the domestic and the international markets. Engineering design of the sugar refinery located at Jebel Ali Port, Dubai was started in 1992 and construction of the refinery was completed in 1994. Commercial Production of the refinery commenced in July 1995 with an installed capacity of 2,400 tons per day of Refined Crystal Sugar. Being located in a country devoid of sugar cane production, the refinery was designed to process available raw sugar of different qualities from different sugar cane growing regions of the world. The company added substantial capacity for raw sugar storage in 2004. A dome shaped store with a diameter of 176 metres and a height of 84 metres, installed for the purpose, is the largest such structure in the world. With the addition of this new raw sugar store, the total storage capacity of raw sugar has increased to about one million tons. A team of qualified technical professionals have developed innovative means to achieve production capacity exceeding the installed capacity. The refinery has already achieved a capacity of over 5,000 tons per day (as of July 2005), which incidentally is the largest sugar refining capacity in the world.
