We are The Santo Antonio Group, composed of two sugar-ethanol mills. Santo Antonio Sugarcane Mill produces VHP sugar, crystal sugar and ethanol. Camaragibe Mill produces only VHP sugar. The third company, Jitituba, co-generates electricy. Our quality, efficiency, safety and social-environmental responsibility, make us a reference to national and international markets.
Our units are located in the town of São Luís do Quitunde and Matriz de Camaragibe, both in the state of Alagoas, and distant from the Port of Maceió around 60 kilometers.
From sugar cane, we produce Crystal Sugar, VHP, Demerara Sugar and Anhydrous, Hydrated and Extra Neutral Ethanol, besides the by-products molasses and bagasse.
Our history began in 1957, When Ernesto Gomes Maranhão, then a cane producer in the state pf Pernambuco, migrated to the State of Alagoas, after the purchase of the Mill, which by then crushed around 40.000 tons annually.
In 1970, the founder of the Sugar Mill, Ernesto Gomes Maranhão, passed away. His offspring and successors, José Carlos, Luiz Carlos, Luiz Ernesto, Severino Carlos, and Maria das Graças continued his great business venture. Throughout the years, they expanded and modernized the industrial mill park, expanding its milling capacity. They acquired Santo Antonio Central Branch at the end of 1980 and, later on, they founded Jitituba Energetic Central.
In the administration of Santo Antonio Group, as it’s called the cluster of companies, is current managed, not only by the third generation of the family, but also by a group of hired executives.
