 Victorias Milling Company, Inc. is an agro-industrial complex located in the City of Victorias, Negros Occidental. Founded on May 7, 1919 by the late Don Miguel J. Ossorio, the company was among the earliest modern sugar mills in the country at the turn of the century. In 1921, the Company started to expand its facilities. A sugarcane agriculture research department was established, the first in a sugar central in the country. This was followed by the construction of the VMC Dock (port) at the coastal part of Victorias, also another first in the industry. In 1928, the Company further broadened its operations by establishing a sugar refinery. On its first year of operation, it produced 90,920 100-pound bags. It was in the same year when VMC started producing hydrous alcohol in Manapla. The following year, it made its first export of raw sugar to the United States. This marked the beginning of VMC as a regular sugar exporter to the US. In 1934, the first export of high-grade refined sugar to the US was made. Actually VMC is the result of the integration of two sugar mills ---the original VMC and the North Negros Sugar Company (NONSUCO), the first sugar mill built by Don Miguel in 1917 in the Municipality of Manapla. During the outbreak of the Japanese war, NONSUCO was almost completely devastated while VMC suffered extensive damages. Don Miguel thought that rehabilitating NONSUCO was too impractical to do, he therefore decided to merge its assets with those of VICMICO. In April 1946, the integrated VMC commenced postwar operation and from then on, the Company expanded steadily into a conglomerate involved in non-sugar operations comprising of engineering products and services, food processing, agri-business (aquaculture, cutflower, swine and cattle projects, organic fertilizer), a shipping component, management and consultancy services. VMC, driven by its progressive spirit, has also ventured into industrial estate development known as Victorias Industrial Estate. It stands as another achievement in the Company's pursuit of entrepreneurial excellence.
