Soda ash is a safe, simple compound used in the manufacture of thousands of products from glass, to cleaning products, pharmaceuticals and food. Civilisations as far back as the Egyptians and the Romans discovered its remarkable properties and it’s been part of our everyday lives ever since.
Our mission is to challenge the status quo, to innovate and to excel in everything we do.
Strategically, we aim to maintain and extend our leadership position in the global soda ash industry in terms of production volumes, product quality and supply chain reliability, technology and process innovation and in safety and environmental standards.
We operate to the highest product quality, environmental and safety standards around the world.
We execute in a responsible and sustainable way, with the lowest environmental impact whilst supporting and investing in the communities in which we work, creating a positive impact for our employees, our customers and for the communities in which we operate.
