Windsor Salt is a national salt mining, processing, and distribution company based in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada.[1] It operates salt mines in Pugwash, Nova Scotia (the Windsor Salt Pugwash Mine) and Windsor, Ontario (the Windsor Salt Mine).[2] From the salt it mines and produces through evaporative processes, it produces and distributes products for household use, food production, as well as products for agricultural, commercial, and industrial use. Government agencies use a number of its products for ice control on roads in the winter.
Windsor Salt was founded in 1893 as The Windsor Salt Company by three employees of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was also known as The Canadian Salt Company, Limited (French: La Société Canadienne de Sel Limitée) for a time. Since 1954, it has been owned by Morton Salt, which in turn used to be owned by German chemical company K+S, and the company is Canada's largest salt manufacturer.
The company is headquartered in Pointe-Claire, Quebec.[3] It employs over 800 people in its three regional sales offices, three evaporated salt plants, three rock salt mines, and throughout a network of warehouses and salt storage facilities.[4]
In 2020, Windsor Salt's parent, K+S, sold Windsor Salt and Morton Salt to Kissner Group, which is controlled by Stone Canyon Industries Holdings (SCIH) and Mark Demetree.[5]
