The American Sugar Refining Company (ASR) is the largest American business unit in the sugar refining industry in the early 1900s.
It has interests in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean locations, and operates one of the world's largest sugar refineries, located in Brooklyn, New York.
In the early 1970s, the company makes major investments in high-fructose corn syrup production, and changes its name to Amstar Corporation (ASR).
It moves its headquarters from 120 Wall Street to 1251 Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue) (The Exxon Building) in mid-town Manhattan.
With investments in food-picking and handling machinery companies in the Midwestern United States, the company faced a takeover by the British sugar company Tate & Lyle in 1980.
How long this lasts is uncertain since American Sugar is now part of another group.
The Domino brand name is currently associated with Fanjul Corp., a vast sugar and real estate conglomerate in the United States and Dominican Republic that also owns two of its former major competitors, C&H Sugar (California and Hawaii) and Jack Frost (National Sugar Company).
