Jun 14, 2024

Sacramento, Calif. – The California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) welcomed Glogens, a fertilizer and plant nutrient company, to the organization today.

The Sacramento organic fertilizer company utilizes natural coal and amino acids to enhance farmers crops by delivering essential elements to plants.

“From fresh fruit and vegetables to grapes that produce world-class wine, California’s over 25.6 million acres of agricultural land feeds the country. We are excited to bring on Glogens to CMTA as we support our farmers, and many of our agriculture manufacturing members,” said Lance Hastings, CEO & President of CMTA.

Glogens products are based on years of research and development that led to the patent of an exclusive technology in the U.S. with the goal of helping farmers grow healthier crops and increase their yield while lowering costs. Glogens is also working on gaining patents in other countries to benefit the world’s overall agriculture industry.

“Glogens® proudly joins CMTA as a member, anticipating a transformative impact on the agricultural industry. We are confident that our regenerative patented fertilizer will reform the agriculture sector, enhancing soil quality, promoting sustainability, and yielding healthier crops,” said Natasha Tkachuk, Glogens’ Vice President – Operations Manager. “Glogens® is committed to ensuring affordability for farmers and consumers while focusing on environmental consciousness. The company envisions introducing its nutrient-rich fertilizer to farmers to reshape the perception of coal as a valuable and beneficial resource.”

Glogen’s unique production of fertilizers enhances the natural functioning of plants. Its fertilizers are patented to increase crop yield and plant health without synthetic chemicals.
