Sugar Factory Sas van Gent
The Sugar Factory Sas van Gent was a beet sugar factory in Sas van Gent, Zeeland, the Netherlands. It was located in the Poelpolder south of the town. It should not be confused with the Eerste Nederlandsche Coöperatieve Beetwortelsuikerfabriek located just north of the town. The factory was part of multiple companies and therefore known by multiple names. At first it was part of the short lived independent company called: De Zeeuwsche Suikerfabriek. The Sucrerie Zélandaise that followed it was also not successful. The Beetwortelsuikerfabriek Sas van Gent, founded by sugar industrials from North Brabant fared better. In the 1920s, CSM took control of this company, and eventually the factory became an integral part of CSM. Due to overproduction, the factory was closed down in 1987. The sugar factory had a profound impact on transport in Zeelandic Flanders. It gave a lot of work to the small agricultural harbors and played a role in the foundation of the narrow-gauge railway Zeeuwsch-Vlaamsche Tramweg Maatschappij.
