Morton Salt Announces Major Expansion

Morton Salt recently announced its Consumer segment will significantly increase its production capabilities, enabling it to strengthen customer reliability across North America.

Through a series of recently completed and planned expansion projects, the company’s annual evaporated salt and solar salt production networks in North America will increase by approximately 500,000 tons and 360,000 tons, respectively. Some of the new capacity is now complete and online, and the entire expansion will be completed through the next 12-18 months.

“We could not be more excited about these expansion projects, which will enable us to better serve customers across all channels and products lines,” said Jim Heard, President of the company’s Consumer segment. “We are always looking for opportunities to grow our iconic brands and solidify our position as the premier salt brand and supplier in the United States and Canada, and  we believe these strategic investments present a ‘win-win’ opportunity for customers and our company.”
