Sucden

Sucden is an independent market leader in soft commodities. It trades on all the main markets, operates throughout the value chain, with offices in 25 countries and serves clients in 100 countries worldwide. The company was founded in 1952 in Paris by Maurice Varsano and Jacques Roboh as Sucres et Denrées. It is still privately owned and led by Serge Varsano from its corporate headquarters in Paris, France.

Sucden's founding partners sold their first bag of sugar in 1952. In Morocco, at the end of the second world war, Maurice Varsano and Jacques Roboh began a business buying and selling sugar, tea and salt. Success provided the funds to move to Paris in 1952 and launch Sucres et Denrées. By 1955 the company had attracted the heart of the team that would stay close to Maurice Varsano and family for the next 30 years. Together they grew the business focusing on soft commodities trading, mainly sugar, and developed a worldwide network stretching from Europe to Japan and the Americas. During the 1970s, now known as Sucden, the company expanded into new territories including the Arabic Peninsula, North Africa and Latin America, new products such as molasses, coffee, cocoa, financial services and brokerage (Sucden Financial), and also diversified into meat. In 2022, Sucden celebrated its 70th anniversary at the London Museum of Natural History. Sucden celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2012.
