[edit] History

In 1799, William Frederick Havemeyer, who had been an apprentice of a London sugar refiner, began running Mr. Seaman's refinery in New York City. His brother joined him in 1802. On January 1, 1807, a new plant was opened as Wm. and F.C. Havemaker. Another plant superseded this one in 1859. It was known as Havemayer, Townsend & Co Refinery. By 1864, the refinery was the most modern of its time. After the Sugar Trust was ruled illicit in 1891, Henry Osborne Havemeyer and Theodore A. Havemeyer were elected as chairman and president, respectively, of the American Sugar Refining Company. This allowed the company to acquire five additional refineries. The company became known as Domino Sugar in 1900, and this was officially recognized by the patent office on October 8, 1901. In 1916, began offering individually wrapped sugar tablets, making Domino the first to sell these. The company invented the transparent window carton in 1920. In 1970, the American Sugar Company became the Amstar Corporation. ^[1] A trademark-infringement lawsuit was begun by Amstar against Domino's Pizza in 1975. ^[2] In 2001, Domino Sugar officially became Domino Foods, Inc. ^[1]
