FROM SEED HOUSE TO SULFUR HUB

Georgia Gulf Sulfur started inside R.A. Griffin's seed and chemical business in Valdosta, Georgia, with one product in mind: milled agricultural sulfur for the peanut, peach, and citrus growers of the Southeast.

The plant site was bought on Spring Creek Road in Bainbridge, at Georgia's inland port on the Flint River, next to the Texas Gulf Sulfur storage terminal. Production commenced in 1959 on dry bulk sulfur from that terminal.

A fluid sulfur unit followed in 1983, and the family grew from there: Bainbridge Chemical's emulsified line, S.F. Sulfur's century-old Freeport plant, International Sulphur at Mount Pleasant in 1997, and Galaxy Sulfur in 2016.

Sixty-plus years later the model has not changed: one element, done well, manufactured to the customer's specification.
