With all the sales and name changes, I'm not sure if American Sugar Refining Company and American Sugar Refining are essentially the same entity that over time has changed ownership and name and subsidiaries, and what the relationship to Domino Foods is. Domino Sugar and Tate & Lyle appear to be part of ASR Group now. See: [1], [2], [3], and the linked articles. We need to make sure Amstar and Domino Sugar redirect to the right places. -- Beland (talk) 20:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Beland, I would say no. American Sugar Refining was founded in 1998 as a cooperative by sugar growers and therefore it's history would not trace back to American Sugar Refining Company. American Sugar Refining Company was a stock company, which differs from a cooperative. American Sugar Refining Company later became Amstar, which is now a privately held company.^[1] RaysRates (talk) 01:56, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

The same referenced article describes Domino Sugar as a spin-off by Amstar, acquired by by the U.K. sugar giant Tate & Lyle. The subsidiary name was changed to Domino Sugar in 1991, then Tate & Lyle North American Sugars in 1998, and finally Domino Foods in 2001. It appears to me that combining Domino and American Sugar would be based on tenuous corporate linkage. They probably should remain separate. RaysRates (talk) 02:01, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
