Its headquarters are and were in Crockett under the Carquinez Bridge in unincorporated Contra Costa County California. In 2017 its Crockett refinery processed its last shipment of Hawaiian sugar but continues to produce pure cane sugar sourced from other locations. American Sugar Refining bought C & H in 2006.
