Tienen/Tirlemont Icing Sugar Mill

Tienen (known as Tirlemont in French) is a historic Belgian brand deeply rooted in the country's sugar industry since 1836. The brand is famous for its sugar beets, which are primarily grown and processed in Belgium, specifically around the city of Tienen. This particular product is an icing sugar mill, a convenient shaker designed for waffles and pancakes.

While the brand started as the Raffinerie Tirlemontoise, it has evolved through various corporate structures. Today, it is part of the Südzucker Group, a German multinational that is the largest sugar producer in the world. Despite German ownership, the production facilities remain primarily centered in Belgium, maintaining the brand's local heritage and regional manufacturing status.
