Description
The company was originally founded in 1861 in the village of Trostyanets by the landowner Felix Sobanskij alongside the South-East Railroad and near Kharkov (Ukraine).
In 1868/69, a group of merchants (E.G. Molinary, Carl Geber, Emil Solacroup and the Belgian brothers Emile and Jules Charles Halot) bought the company and turned it into a limited company through the issue of 480 nominative shares of 3125 roubles each. From 1874 onward, it was controlled by the German “sugar baron” Leopold König. Around 1900, the company employed 900 people and also operated a vodka factory. They opened a second sugar mill in Gassinsk and owned large fields of land for the growing of sugar beets, as well as grain.
