Sucro Can Sourcing, a rapidly growing integrated sugar refiner, and Rabobank announced the successful closing of a $225 million senior secured credit facility. The revolving credit facility, which initially launched at $175 million was considerably oversubscribed with strong demand from new and existing institutions. The $225 million revolving credit facility was led by Rabobank as the sole Lead Arranger, sole Bookrunner, and Administrative Agent. A total of eight lenders participated in the transaction, including  Macquarie Bank Limited and Valley National Bank as Syndication Agents. The proceeds from the facility will be used for general working capital purposes.  

As a highly integrated sugar refiner operating primarily in North America, Sucro's mission is to be the leading alternative integrated sugar supplier in North America, leveraging its processing footprint and supply chain innovations to fully service sugar users. Sucro's relationships and efficient operational model has established the company as a dynamic sugar trade partner for sugar mills, processors, distributors and industrial customers.

"Sucro is demonstrating supply chain innovation and willingness to invest in new refining capacity in both Canada and the United States, and we have been strongly supported by our growing customer base", says Jonathan Taylor, Founder and CEO of Sucro Sourcing.  "We are delighted to continue this growth with the financial support of Rabobank, an industry leader in the global commodity sector."

"We are excited to partner with Sucro, a company that has established itself as not only a niche player but a creative and innovative leader in the multi-billion dollar sugar industry," said Christine Pelletier, Rabobank's Head of Trade & Commodity Finance Americas.

"The significant oversubscription is validation of the bank group's confidence in the long-term growth potential of Sucro, supported by a consistent track record of operational and financial execution," said Christopher Hartofilis, Head of Capital Markets North America. "We are very proud to be leading the financing to support Sucro's continued expansion and growth."

Since its inception in 2014, the company has achieved significant growth by creating value for customers, through continuous process innovation and supply chain re-engineering.  While focused on the industrial sector, Sucro's supply chain advantage creates a unique opportunity in the retail sector as well. Sucro has established an extensive production, sales and sourcing network throughout North America with two refining locations and two additional value-added processing facilities in North America, and offices in Miami, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Cali, Guayaquil, and Port of Spain.
