Stock Profile
Compass Minerals International, Inc. engages in the production and distribution of inorganic mineral products in North America and the United Kingdom. Its principal products are salt and sulfate of potash (SOP). The company mines, produces, processes, and distributes salt, including rock, evaporated, and solar salt. Its salt products are used in various applications, including as a deicer for both highway and consumer use; an ingredient in the production of chemicals for paper bleaching and water treatment; as a flavor enhancer and preservative in food; as a nutrient and trace mineral delivery vehicle in animal feeds; and as a component in both industrial and residential water softeners. SOP is primarily used as a specialty fertilizer, providing potassium to chloride-sensitive crops, such as vegetables, fruits, tea, tobacco, and turf grass. The company distributes general trade salt products through retail channels, such as grocery stores, building supply, hardware and automotive stores, and feed suppliers. The company was formerly known as Salt Holdings Corporation and changed its name to Compass Minerals International, Inc. in December 2003. Compass Minerals is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas.
