$200 Million Lantic Sugar Expansion Plan at Port of Montreal
By GLSR Staff |
Lantic Sugar, which has a plant on Notre-Dame Street East on Port of Montreal territory, has announced a vast expansion and modernization project. The $200 million overhaul will make it possible for the company to increase its handling and refining capacity by 20% while optimizing its logistics and rail infrastructures.
Currently, more than 580,000 metric tons of raw sugar a year move through the Lantic Sugar facilities at the Port of Montreal. Over the decades, the steady rise in volume amounts reflected the industry’s vitality. Sourced 100% from the sugar cane of Latin American countries, notably Brazil, the sugar imported by bulk cargo carriers is fully refined before being packaged on site for distribution in forms ranging from granulated sugar packets to bulk sugar products for the agri-food industry. The sugar is then loaded dockside onto trucks or freight trains and transported to many destinations throughout Quebec, as well as from Ontario to Newfoundland and the Maritimes.
