HISTORY

MOLASSES, a by-product from the production of sugar, has been known to mankind for almost 3000 years and was first imported into Belfast from the Americas during the early18th century.

The United Molasses Company was established in 1926 and today United Molasses (Ireland) Ltd, based in the Port of Belfast, supplies animal feed manufacturers and farmers from modern, dockside storage facilities only minutes from the Ulster M2 motorway.
