ONE ELEMENT, DONE WELL, SINCE 1959.
Georgia Gulf Sulfur began inside a Valdosta seed house and grew into a family of companies with five plants in two countries. The product never changed. The discipline never did either.
OUR HISTORY
SEED HOUSE TO SULFUR HUBGeorgia Gulf Sulfur was organized as a subsidiary of the Parramore and Griffin Seed Company of Valdosta, Georgia, when R.A. Griffin expanded his seed and chemical formulation business into the manufacture of sulfur fungicides and miticides for the peanut, peach, and citrus growers of the Southeast.
The plant site was purchased on Spring Creek Road in Bainbridge, at Georgia's inland port on the Flint River, adjacent to the Texas Gulf Sulfur storage terminal. Production commenced in 1959. From that one yard the family grew: emulsified sulfur at Bainbridge Chemical, the century-old Freeport plant of S.F. Sulfur, International Sulphur at Mount Pleasant, and the Galaxy Sulfur bentonite line.
The company separated from its parent in 1982 to become privately held, then grew through acquisition, and today ships to markets across the Caribbean, South America, and the Pacific Rim, with ISO 9001 certified production and an OMRI approved agricultural line. Through all of it the company stayed single-product. Sulfur is not a line of business here. It is the business.
