Short history: Iscal Sugar was founded in 2003 through the merger of several sugar factories, including those in Moerbeke, Frasnes, Fontenoy, and Veurne. Its name derives from the Latin names of the rivers Yser (Isera) and Scheldt (Scaldis), which supply the factory’s beet. The company’s roots trace back to the Moerbeke Sugar Factory, established in 1869. Iscal is part of the Finasucre group, a family holding company founded in 1929, which has expanded through acquisitions and mergers in the sugar industry.

Organization & culture: Iscal employs approximately 150 collaborators, whom they refer to as "collabor'actors," highlighting a culture of active participation and responsibility. The company values long-term relationships with growers and customers and is committed to social responsibility and sustainability in its operations.
