Foundry was established in 1971 and it was co-financed by United Nations Industrial Development Organisation. Since it became a sick factory with a low production of 10 to 12 tons per month, it was transferred to SSC from the Ministry of Industry for rehabilitation. The rehabilitation was envisaged with 3000 tons per year with the same equipment and layout facilities by using latest technologies and aimed at import substitution by producing various castings for local market and particularly  for sugar industry viz.  boiler furnace grate bars, cane cutting knives,   etc.

Company Profile

The idea to establish a sugar industry in Sudan first emerged during 1930s when Boxol British Company sent the Italian expert, Malsos to Mangla to explore the possibility of establishing a sugar  cane factory in Sudan.   Sudan was  at that time under the British rule. Sugar cane was planted at Gaili, Medani , Kamleen Singa , Jebal Mara & some other areas at that time. However, sugar was in food industry as it is the case today. There was a factory for sugar cane syrup in Khartoum North belonging to the Middle East Agricultural Company.

 

In early 1959 the Swiss expert Prof. Fredrick Roan was deputed  to study whether sugar industry is feasible in Sudan. In 1960 the foundation stone for Guneid Sugar Factory was laid by Major General Mohammad Ahmad Irwa on behalf of President Abboud.
