Tereos

Tereos SCA is a large cooperative conglomerate with global subsidiary interests in sugar, alcohol and starch production. It traces its history back to 1932 with the establishment of the Origny cooperative distillery in the Aisne department of northern France. What was by then known as Sucreries et Distilleries de l’Aisne merged with Béghin-Say to become Tereos, with the most recent iteration established as Tereos SCA in 2018.

The company is not directly engaged in rum production, however its 2010 acquisition of the Réunion sugar company, Grupe Quartier Français, briefly saw it become owner of both the Savanna and Rivière du Mât distlleries. The company does however continue to own both of the sugar factories that supply them with molasses.
