Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Alberta, Canada, Sultech Global is a pioneer in micronized elemental sulphur (MES) technology. Its proprietary process converts elemental sulphur into an ultra-fine suspension, branded as SulGro™65, which delivers faster oxidation, greater nutrient availability, and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fertilizers. Micronized sulphur addresses widespread sulphur deficiencies in global soils, improving crop yields, protein content, and fertilizer efficiency while reducing nutrient losses to waterways.

In parallel with the UAE initiative, Sultech is finalizing plans for a new facility in Alberta, Canada, co-located with the natural gas sector to minimize sulphur disposal, cut emissions, and advance circular-economy practices. The project was made possible with the support of Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA), through a $5-million investment awarded under the Emerging Innovators Challenge. The site will serve as a North American manufacturing and export hub, leveraging Canada’s expertise in responsible resource development and agricultural innovation.
