History of sugar making in Hrušovany is narrowly linked with members of aristocracy, having in their possession the local country estate. The owners of country estate in Hrušovany count Khuen-Bellassi with wife Emanuela have taken into operation in 1851 the sugar factory, that succeeded to process 30 tons of sugar beet per day. They were among others also patrons of Alfons Mucha and they paid his studies in Munich and Paris, where he became one of the most famous Art Noveau painters.
The sugar factory employed 40 workers and during the sugar beet season 300 workers. The next  heir was son of Emanuela Dr. Karel Khuen Bellassi. Members of his family have lead the sugar factory on their own costs. The capacity was increased later to 250 tons per day. The next turning point was represented by construction of railway through Hrušovany in 1870. Dr. K. Khuen-Bellassi have rented the sugar factory in 1889 to the company Kürchner-Bachler a Co. The capacity was increased to 500 tons per day. Production of cubes was launched in 1904.

The next development was favourably influenced by establishment of the joint stock company between the company Kürchner-Bachler a Co., count  Khuen-Bellassi and baroness from Vienna in 1911. The joint stock company has born the name "Moravský cukerní průmysl a.s., cukrovar Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou" (Moravian Sugar Industry Joint Stock Company, Sugar Factory Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou).  In 1919 all shares were bought by the Středomoravská cukrovarská a zemědělská společnost (Middle - moravian Sugar Making and Agricultural Company) and then in 1934 entered here the joint stock company for sugar refining industry in Hodonín. In 1948 the sugar factory became a national enterprise and then in 1951 the branch of an enterprise Jihomoravské cukrovary (South - moravian Sugar Factories). In the framework of JMC was built the new sugar factory in Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou in the years 1968 - 1970 with the capacity 4 000 tons of beet per day. The sugar factory  was built by the Polish supplier.

The production was moved into the new works and in 1970 started the new sugar beet season.  In May 1st, 1992 was found the joint stock company Cukrovar Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou. In 1994 entered the foreign capital into the sugar factory, when the shares were bought by the company AGRANA International AG, Wien.  In 1995 the increase of basic capital was done and from this deposit the silo for 20 000 tons of sugar was built. In the next year extensive investments in technology started. In 1999 the General Assembly agreed the project of merger the Cukrovar Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou, a .s.  with  Cukrovar Uničov, a.s.   and  1. Slezská, a.s. Opava. In this year as the first sugar factory has introduced in the market the complete series of products under the name "Korunní cukr", that was extended gradually by other sugar based products.
