Windsor also was home to the Great Western Sugar Company from 1905 to 1966. The Great Western Sugar Company was instrumental in bringing many German/Russian emigrants to the area to harvest the sugar beets. Windsor still has a strong German/Russian population. With the closing of GWSC in 1966, Windsor’s industrial growth expanded and included the opening of a Kodak processing plant, which operated until 2014.
