HISTORY

Tate & Lyle was formed in 1921 from a merger of two rival sugar refiners, Henry Tate & Sons and Abram Lyle & Sons. The ship owner, Abram Lyle acquired an interest in sugar refining in 1865 in Greenock, western Scotland, then in Plaistow, London, England. Henry Tate began his business in 1869 in Liverpool, England, later expanding to London. Both companies had large factories nearby each other. Henry Tate in Silvertown, London and Abram Lyle in Plaistow. This prompted the 1921 merger, and the later carriage of sugar on 1930s Scammell’s bearing both names.
