Sherritt International Corporation is a Canada‐based resource company specializing in the production and marketing of nickel and cobalt, as well as in the development and operation of oil and gas assets. Founded in 1927, Sherritt has evolved into one of the world’s largest independent producers of these critical battery metals, leveraging hydrometallurgical processing to transform lateritic ores into high‐purity end products for global markets.
The company’s metals segment includes its 50/50 joint venture with General Nickel Company in Cuba (Moa Joint Venture) and a majority interest in the Ambatovy nickel‐cobalt project in Madagascar. Sherritt’s proprietary processing technology operates at its Fort Saskatchewan Refinery in Alberta, where it refines mixed hydroxide precipitate into finished nickel and cobalt products. These operations produce feedstock for stainless steel, battery electric vehicles and other growth markets.
Sherritt’s energy division holds interests in Cuba’s Matanzas petroleum operation and the nearby Varadero offshore blocks. In partnership with the Cuban government, these operations encompass exploration, production and marketing of crude oil and natural gas. Additionally, Sherritt’s hydrometallurgical processes yield heavy water, which is supplied to nuclear power facilities.
The company’s global footprint spans Canada, Cuba and Madagascar, and it is committed to environmental stewardship, community engagement and sustainable development. As of 2019, Sherritt International is led by President and Chief Executive Officer David E. Pathe, under whose leadership the company continues to pursue operational excellence and value creation for stakeholders.
