Michigan Sugar Co. growers have approved a multiyear plan to invest more than $13 million in the cooperative’s flagship processing plant in Monitor Township. “This is probably the biggest undertaking since we became a co-op (in 2002),” said Mark Flegenheimer, president and CEO of Michigan Sugar. “This is really going to set us up well in the long term.” The cooperative plans to completely upgrade the beet slicing station at the Monitor Township plant, 2600 S. Euclid Ave., to the tune of $3.8 million. The new equipment is expected to give the beets a more consistent cut while improving the amount of sugar extracted from the beets and energy efficiency of the machines.
