Michigan Sugar operates four beet sugar mills, all located in the U.S. state of Michigan, and operates three shipping and distribution centers in Michigan and the adjacent state of Ohio. The firm has a permanent employment headcount of 450 employees, to which are added 1,750 additional seasonal employees during the times of year when sugar beets are harvested and processed.[1]

During much of its history, Michigan Sugar was a publicly-traded, private-sector firm. It was later a subsidiary of Imperial Sugar; after the 2001 bankruptcy of its former parent firm, Michigan Sugar went cooperative in February 2002. Since that time the cooperative has been owned by a consortium of more than 1,000 sugar beet farmers who grow beets, mostly in Michigan's Thumb, for processing.[1]
