Global Fiber Processing Plans Expanded Footprint as Demand Grows for Hemp Hurd, Fibero
By Elizabeth Lunt
From its base in Monte Vista, Colorado, Global Fiber Processing works to empower farmers to thrive in the hemp industry. The company now seeks to expand its footprint in the United States and abroad. Global Fiber Processing opened its processing facility doors in July 2022 and has quickly expanded to running two shifts to keep up with demand. Meanwhile, its Formation Ag subsidiary has seen triple-digit growth since 2020 that is not slowing down.
Formation Ag, a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Fiber, works with farmers to develop technology to handle hemp from A to Z — from planting to the decortication of American hemp at an industrial scale.
