Sisaltech

The East Africa Sisal Company Ltd was founded by John Ferguson in 2012 when he was working with small-scale farmers in Tanzania. It was there that he became aware of the versatile and sustainable sisal crop and decided to explore its many uses back on home soil. After discovering the material’s amazing thermal qualities, Sisaltech was established to further explore and develop into the insulation market.

Fast forward a few years and we now produce one of the lowest carbon, high-quality sustainable thermal insulation products on the market. We use virgin sisal imported from Tanzania and recycled sheep’s wool from the Harris Tweed industry as well as a starch-based binder which allows the product to be completely compostable.
