Michigan Sugar Company has been producing and providing quality sugar products to customers for more than 115 years under the Pioneer® Sugar and Big Chief® Sugar brands. From granulated and powdered sugars to liquid and brown sugars, we are proud of every product that leaves our facilities. Whether it is retail, food service, industrial or co-products, Michigan Sugar Company has a product for you.

The pipe bridge is a critical piece of the Caro plant infrastructure for transporting the company's natural beet sugar ingredients safely across a local stream. The steel on the bridge need to be durable enough to withstand local flood debris and be free of maintenance concerns for the facility. The choice to hot-dip galvanize the steel was easy based on the needs of the construction company and sugar plant's long term expectations.
