In his new role, Grant will work closely with PLAN CEO Steve Harpur to oversee operations and development of its micronized mineral technologies in addition to supporting the growth of the PLAN's current lines of business, the company said.
It added that Grant will be leading the shutdown of the seasonal regenerative fertilizer pilot plant in Spallumcheen, British Columbia (BC), moving key equipment to expand the full commercial plant in Kamloops, BC.
PLAN noted that Grant’s promotion comes on the heels of the company completing its successful acquisition and integration with Absorbent Products Ltd and its expansion of regenerative fertilizer operations.
As well, the company reported that, effective May 2, 2022, Absorbent Products has changed its name to Progressive Planet Products Inc, with a brand transformation rolling out over the next few months that PLAN says will bring exciting new opportunities for growth.
Progressive Planet is an emerging technology company providing innovative circular solutions and earth-friendly micronized minerals that naturally unlock sustainability benefits across the construction and agriculture industries.
