União Cristalçúcar sugar

União is one of Brazil's most historic and iconic brands, primarily known for its extensive range of sugar products. Founded in 1910, the brand has become synonymous with baking and culinary culture in Brazil, often providing educational content and recipes to consumers. The product shown, Cristalçúcar, is a granulated crystal sugar widely used in household kitchens for sweetening beverages and baking desserts.

The manufacturing of União sugar occurs within Brazil, utilizing the country's vast sugarcane resources. The brand has undergone several changes in corporate ownership over the decades as the Brazilian food industry consolidated.

Currently, União is owned by Camil Alimentos, a giant in the Latin American food sector. Camil Alimentos acquired the brand from the French group Tereos (who had previously acquired it from Cosan), bringing the brand back under Brazilian company control. Camil oversees the production and distribution, ensuring União remains a market leader in the sugar category.
