About Béghin Say
Béghin Say is the sugar brand Tereos describes as the most famous on the French market, with dozens of references and the widest range of any brand there. Tereos says the Béghin and Say families joined forces in 1973 to launch it, that blond cane sugar arrived in the 1980s and that a Sucre & Stévia range is the recent addition. Tereos acquired Béghin Say in 2002, the deal that created the Tereos group, and names it a flagship brand in France.
