Compass Minerals International Inc's Comment on Supply Chain
The company operates a network of approximately 80 depots for the storage and distribution of highway deicing salt in North America, primarily along the Great Lakes and the Mississippi and Ohio River systems. Deicing salt from the Ogden facility serves customers in the Western and upper Midwest United States. The company sells treated rock salt enhanced with brine magnesium chloride and organic materials across its markets. Production at the Winsford mine supports winter demand in the United Kingdom, where the company supplies approximately 75% of highway deicing customers under multi-year contracts, including the UK’s Highways Agency. Salt sales are seasonal, with about two-thirds occurring from November through March in North America and Europe. The majority of North American deicing sales are in Canada and the Midwestern United States. The company stockpiles salt to meet winter season requirements.
Principal chemical customers use the salt for producing vinyls, chemicals, pulp and paper, water treatment, and other industrial applications, typically under multi-year supply agreements. Consumer and industrial products accounted for 37% of fiscal 2025 Salt segment sales and include water conditioning, ice control, food processing, agricultural, table salt, and industrial uses. The company is the third largest producer of consumer and industrial salt products in North America and among the largest private-label producers of water conditioning salt in North America and table salt in Canada. The Sifto brand is recognized in Canada. Distribution channels include retail, agricultural, industrial, janitorial, sanitation, and resellers, utilizing direct sales personnel, contract personnel, and brokers or manufacturers’ representatives.
