General Info

Formed in 1914, The Independent Salt Company is one of the leading manufactures of salt in the United States. Based in Kanopolis, Kan., the salt produced by the company is not used for direct human consumption, as is table salt, which is produced from brine pumped from wells or the ocean. Instead, its products are used as additive for animals and poultry feeds, for processing raw hides into leather goods, industrial water treatment and an aid in drilling oil and gas wells.
