Located in Vancouver, Canada, Saltworks facilities encompass proprietary membrane and desalting device manufacturing, desalination system production, engineering and test centre. Our headquarters include a fully permitted hybrid desalination plant and solid salt maker. The low pressure, low cost plant is built largely from plastics and offers considerable energy savings.

Major investors include: Knight Piésold, an international engineering firm; Teck Resources, Canada's largest diversified mining company; and Cenovus Energy, a Canadian oil company.
