  • Sugar Factory "Te-To" Senta, Sabi (guest) wrote 10 years ago:
    The sugar factory in Senta was built in 1961 when it also began its first production campaign with a processing capacity of 2,000 tons of sugar beet per day. Continuous modernization and expansion of existing capacity by investing in new equipment have contributed to the fact that today the factory has a maximum capacity of daily sugar beet processing of 8,500 tons per day. During 2002 the privatization process was carried out through a capital increase. The majority owner of the factory is an Italian company Finanziaria Saccarifera Italo-Iberica A.p.A. based in Cesena. Following the privatization, new packagings and new categories of sugar products have been introduced to the market, the portfolio of sugar products has been expanded and the marketing approach has been changed. As part of these activities a wide range of products has been offered to the market under the recognizable brand “NOTADOLCE”.
