KELOWNA, B.C. – Vitalis Extraction Technology, Inc. is pleased to announce it has placed No. 3 on the Globe and Mail’s 2020 Report on Business ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies.
Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. Vitalis earned its spot with a three-year growth of 8,090 per cent.

“What an honour it is to be recognized on this list of great Canadian companies. It is truly a testament to our team and technological innovations, coupled with the trust of our industry-leading clients that has fueled our global growth from our proudly Canadian roots,” said Joel Sherlock, co-founder and chairman of Vitalis. “Vitalis was born on the premise of partnership – we believe that combining a customer-first approach with industry-leading innovation helps drive our clients’ success, which in turn propels our own business. This belief drove our decision to build components in-house, from the initial fabrication of raw steel and customized control systems to live on-site installation and training. We stand firmly behind the quality of every system. We’re proud to reach this milestone as we approach our 5th birthday, and excited to maintain this momentum of growth moving forward with our sights set on new products and new markets.”
