The firm was originally incorporated as the Morton Salt Company in 1910. Plant acquisitions have continued to this day. Concurrent with this growth has been the development of more sophisticated products and grades of salt for various purposes. Special salt grades were developed for food processing and used in the manufacture of gasoline, pharmaceuticals, plastics, paints, dyes, tires, detergents, insecticides and many other items. The firm is also involved in the chemical processing industry as a major supplier of basic inorganic chemicals derived from salt. This has led to the formation of a separate chemical division that now produces organic chemicals, polymers and chemical formulations used in industry and agriculture.
