Update? edit

I think they might be still around? At least I see some references to them. W Nowicki (talk) 03:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps they are around under a different entity or as a successor company, but the C. Brewer & Co., Ltd. described in this article was formally dissolved on March 31, 2006. None of the entities incorporated in Hawaii with the name "C. Brewer" appear to be active at the moment. However, perhaps it is possible the company's still around under a different name. What are the references you are referring to? 青い(Aoi) (talk) 04:12, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I no longer see any C. Brewer entity, although D. Buyers Enterprises still seems to be registered, even after selling off the frozen juice business. But more needs to be written on the early history since this was an influential company. W Nowicki (talk) 22:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Relocated OR content edit

The following on cited/OR content was relocated here this date:

The early 1970s demonstrated how influential the world's economy can be to Pahala, Hawaii. The 1970s brought about fuel shortages, and developing nations began to produce cheaper sugar. During the 1970s C. Brewer proposed the perfect opportunity to diversify. A gentleman by the name of Bob Shleser had proposed to Doc Buyers (then CEO of C. Brewer) the idea and technology to convert the Pahala Sugar Mill to produce ethanol fuel from sugarcane. Shleser also proposed that Hawaiʻi County pass a bill that would require 25% of all vehicles on the island to be retrofitted to use ethanol by 1985. Doc Buyers, however, decided against it. The Sugarcane plantation and mill shut down in April 1996.
