SASKATOON — Northern Nutrients, in partnership with Shell Trading Canada, is expanding the capacity of its current facility located in East Floral Industrial Park near Saskatoon from 50,000 megatonnes to 150,000 megatonnes annually of sulphur-focused fertilizers.
Founded in 2016, Northern Nutrients’ company's state-of-the-art facility near Saskatoon produces enhanced nitrogen sulphur fertilizers using the Shell Thiogro Technology. Their flagship product, Arctic S, has a composition of 11 per cent nitrogen and 75 per cent micronized elemental sulphur.
The expansion of the Saskatoon facility is expected to boost production capacity and meet the growing demand for innovative fertilizer products. The project is expected to create close to 60 full-time construction jobs, as well as numerous full-time positions in ongoing operations.
“Since local production of Arctic S began in 2022, the market response across North America has exceeded our expectations, making now the perfect time to expand our production capacity, and Shell the perfect partner to do it with.” says Ross Guenther, CEO and co-owner of Northern Nutrients.
Northern Nutrients co-owner Rob Owens adds “Bringing Shell Trading Canada on as a strategic joint venture partner makes sense on multiple levels to continue the momentum Northern Nutrients has built over the past few years.”
