Agri-Food
We focus on agrifood processing, distribution, and exports. We look at food biotechnology–derived products that can be promising raw materials for the probiotics, functional foods & nutraceuticals, and prepared foods industries. In addition to specific large scale projects, SGF promotes the kind of development and consolidation that gives companies a competitive edge in local and international markets.
Mines, Materials, Energy, Environment
The Mines, Materials, Energy, Environment Group was created by the fusion of two groups that always have been at the heart of SGF’s financing activities. This group represents the full range of SGF’s expertise in mining, metals, advanced materials, energy, environment and chemicals.
Forest Products
Fierce global competition and the strengthening Canadian dollar are bringing heavy pressure to bear on the forest products industry. Consolidation, modernization, and innovation are the keys to a number of expanding specialty markets, including structural and nonstructural wood components, engineered wood, printing paper, bathroom tissue, fine paper, and furniture manufacturing. We are involved in all stages of the forest product development chain, including sawmills; pulp, paper, and cardboard plants; and more. We also take part in projects involving the supply chain or product commercialization.
