Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the largest soda ash maker of them all? Not General Chemical Group, but the company still is a leading maker of soda ash used for a variety of purposes, including glass and mirror production, laundry detergents, and water treatment. It produces soda ash in partnership with Owns-Illinois, TOSOH, and Church & Dwight (Arm and Hammer). General Chemical distributes its products in the US and to more than 30 other countries through its membership in American Natural Soda Ash Company, an export cooperative of five US soda ash producers. General Chemical also makes calcium chloride for road de-icing and dust control on unpaved roads. Chairman Paul Montrone owns 47% the company.
