Sugar Is Sweet.The Amalgamated Sugar Company, with roots reaching back to 1915, turns beets into sweets. It's the second-largest US sugar producer, processing sugar beets grown on about 180,000 acres in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. The company manufactures granulated, coarse, powdered, and brown consumer sugar products marketed under the brand White Satin. It also makes products for retail grocery chains under private labels. The sugar company produces beet pulp, molasses, and other beet by-products for use by food and animal-feed manufacturers. Since 1997 Amalgamated Sugar has been owned by the Snake River Sugar Company, a cooperative that comprises sugar beet growers in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
