Beyond its core sugar business, the group unites several strong companies under one roof: BENEO (functional ingredients for food, animal nutrition, and pharma), Freiberger (frozen and chilled pizza, pasta dishes, and snacks), PortionPack (portion packs), CropEnergies (bioethanol for the fuel sector), and AGRANA (starch products and fruit preparations / fruit juice concentrates). Freiberger, a wholly owned subsidiary since 1998, produces pizzas for retailers worldwide — chances are you've eaten one without knowing it.
