Sergey Grabovski
Founder, NetaChem
Sergey Grabovski brings an unusual combination of formal chemistry training, European process engineering experience, and applied agrochemical work to NetaChem.
He holds a degree from the Faculty of Chemistry, Moscow State University (1998), and conducted scientific research at the University of Greifswald, Germany (2001–2005).
From 2005 to 2022, he built and led the representation of De Dietrich Process Systems — a leading European manufacturer of glass-lined chemical process equipment — across Russia and the CIS region. This experience gave him deep exposure to industrial chemistry, process engineering, and the chemistry of complex liquids including acids, alkalis, and specialty chemicals.
In 2022, his direction shifted toward applied agricultural chemistry. He became involved in the scientific preparation and field testing of a novel humic preparation, developed for a Belarusian producer, leading the translation of scientific knowledge into practical agronomic communication. The emphasis was on bringing a rigorous, evidence-based approach to the positioning and application of humic substances in modern agriculture.
Following his relocation to Israel in 2025 and the founding of NetaChem in 2026, Sergey now pursues a mission he describes as twofold: helping Israeli farmers achieve better yields and greater resilience through the intelligent application of humic-fulvic science — and, in the longer term, contributing to the greening and rehabilitation of Israel's arid landscapes through the same biological logic.
