K+S Chile has its headquarters in Santiago and specializes in the extraction of salt. Its largest mining area is the Salar Grande de Tarapacá in the Chilean Atacama Desert, which has an area of 225 square kilometers and a depth of 60 - 120 metres. K+S mines various salt products that differ in the purity and size of the salt crystals. After mining, the salt is sorted by size and transported to the warehouse in the port of Patillos.

There, our salt is subjected to strict quality controls and tested by a highly qualified team. Once our products have passed all the tests, they are loaded onto ships and transported to their final destination. Our products are used in industry, for example in agriculture and the textile industry. Part of the mined salt is sold as pure table salt to the local market and is a popular commodity.
