Nathan Morton
Logistics Coordinator
E: marketing@sltec.com.au
After moving to the area with my family at a young age, I grew up on a local hobby farm and worked on a nearby tomato farm, where I developed a strong appreciation for agriculture and the vital role quality plant nutrition plays in achieving healthy crop growth. I later established and successfully operated my own landscaping business, which further sparked my interest in fertilizers and the agricultural supply industry. This passion led me to join the production team at SLTec Fertilizers, where I worked from 2022 to 2024, gaining valuable experience in manufacturing processes and product knowledge. In 2026, I returned to SLTec to undertake a logistics role, combining my production experience with a passion for transport, supply chain efficiency, and ensuring quality products are delivered to customers reliably and efficiently.
