Companies in Sodom

Dead Sea Works is where ICL Group began, and the operation still has the feel of a resource business in the old sense: potash, bromine, magnesium and industrial salt are extracted from the Dead Sea itself at the Sodom plant on its southern shore. It is one of the largest potash facilities anywhere, and the scale is the whole story. The extraction method sets the economics. Production relies on solar evaporation, using the region's intense sun and low rainfall to concentrate the brine — an energy-efficient approach that supports competitive cost positioning for bulk buyers, and one that ties output to natural conditions rather than to fuel prices alone. Beyond potash (muriate of potash, MOP), the site yields bromine, magnesium compounds, industrial salt and a range of Dead Sea mineral products. A large on-site cogeneration power plant supports the energy-intensive operations. As ICL's core production asset, Dead Sea Works plugs directly into the group's global sales and logistics. Its buyers are fertilizer distributors, chemical and industrial consumers, and food and industrial salt users. Potash sells against global benchmark pricing, so a useful enquiry states volume, grade, packaging and delivery port — the same four items that determine any bulk mineral contract.
