History
On 13 March 1842 the Australasian Sugar Company was formed in Sydney to take over the assets of the Australian Sugar Company (1839 - 1842). The company operated the Canterbury Refinery from September 1842 processing raw sugar imported from Manila and producing the first locally refined sugar in Australia. Three directors of the company, Edward Knox, Clarke Irving and Ralph Mayer Robey purchased Bowden’s sugar works (the Sydney House) at the corner of Pitt and Liverpool Streets in 1849, and in 1852, Cooper’s refinery in Parramatta Street (the Brisbane House). Knox was the company’s manager and director from August 1843 to 1854 when the company went into liquidation.
