LimeX, Division of British Sugar PLC

LimeX is a division of British Sugar specializing in the production of a co-product known as LimeX, derived from high-purity limestone during the sugar beet manufacturing process. This product plays a critical role in purifying `raw juice` - the initial liquid sugar obtained by diffusing sliced sugar beet with hot water. After the purification process, the precipitated lime is pressed, dried, and stored for various commercial uses. LimeX offers versatile access options including ex-factory collection, delivery, and spreading services, catering primarily to farmers seeking cost-effective and efficient transportation solutions. The product assures year-round availability, with specific arrangements for spring and summer collections to meet diverse customer needs. LimeX is distributed nationwide across the UK through British Sugar’s factories and authorized distributors.
