Sparta Group

What Sparta Group does

Sparta Group (TSX.V:SAY), formerly Sparta Capital Ltd., is a Toronto-based public technology incubator that operates a portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries under three divisions — Environment (ERS International), Health (Sparta Health Corporation), and Transportation (TruckSuite) — supported by shared corporate services in finance, legal, HR, and compliance. The Environment division is the operational core: ERS International runs proprietary e-waste recycling and upcycling facilities in Toronto (2+ million pounds processed annually), Oman, and Brazil, recovering precious metals (gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium, lithium, cobalt) with zero-landfill claims and an CSA-verified carbon-credit generation program. The Health division distributes CASPR continuous pathogen-reduction technology, develops an Autonomous Medicine Project with AI/ML/AR decision support in partnership with Parametric Design Canada, and pursues licensing arrangements with partners such as SBL. The Transportation division offers TruckSuite, a mobile application for truckers covering parking, maintenance, fuel-cost optimization, and driver health, available in the U.S. with a Canadian version in development.

Revenue derives from a mix of B2B e-waste processing fees, verified carbon credit sales (at prevailing national carbon prices of $80 to $170/tonne), hardware/technology sales and distribution agreements for health products (CASPR), licensing/distribution for the Metrikus IoT energy platform and Legend Power Systems' SmartGATE, and TruckSuite app-based services. The company raises additional working capital primarily through small private placements (e.g., 2024 units at $0.02 targeting up to $1M for the TruckSuite Canada launch). Customers span large enterprises (Hut 8 Mining, General Motors, Telus, Bell, Durham Region) and verticals such as cryptocurrency mining, telecommunications, healthcare, education (University of Ottawa, Concordia University), and transportation logistics.

Founded circa 2018 (with corporate roots extending to 1988 per legacy filings), Sparta Group employs 11-50 people under a decentralized model where each subsidiary operates with significant autonomy. Leadership transitioned in late 2023 following the death of founder John O'Bireck, with Tony Peticca appointed President; Joseph Cimorelli (ERS global business development) and Jason Smith (Sparta Health Group) round out the operating team. Strategic certifications (R2v3, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, OHSAS 18001, CSA carbon-credit approval) and a 2023 OECM Gold Award anchor the Environment division's regulatory positioning.

Revenue model

1. E-Waste Processing and Recycling Services: B2B e-waste recycling and upcycling services for businesses including electronics manufacturers, retailers, financial institutions, telecom companies, and crypto miners. Revenue is generated through processing fees for safe data destruction, recycling, and material recovery. The facility also generates verified carbon credits from recycling activities that can be sold to clients unable to meet their emissions reduction goals.
2. Carbon Credit Sales: ERS International generates verified carbon credits through its certified e-waste processing program. The national price of carbon is $80.00 per tonne (expected to increase to $170.00 by 2030). Companies purchase these credits to offset emissions when they cannot meet reduction goals through other means.
3. Health Technology Products: Sparta Health Corporation develops and distributes health technologies including CASPR pathogen reduction systems for hospitals, schools, gyms, offices, and clinics. Revenue comes from product sales, licensing, and distribution agreements.
4. TruckSuite Transportation Solutions: Comprehensive suite of products and services for truckers including mobile applications, parking assistance, maintenance support, and health monitoring. Revenue model includes app-based services and partnerships with trucking industry stakeholders.
5. Energy Management Solutions: Distribution and integration of IoT-based energy management platforms (Metrikus) that help businesses optimize energy usage, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency.
6. Private Placement Financing: Capital raising through private placement offerings. In 2024, the company extended a private placement to raise up to $1 million through the sale of up to 50 million units at $0.02 per unit to fund TruckSuite Canada launch and associated expenses.
