Business Summary
General Chemical Group Inc. is a producer of soda ash and calcium chloride in North America. The Company's soda ash is used in the manufacture of glass, sodium, chemicals (such as baking soda), detergents, paper, textiles, food and many other familiar consumer products. The Company's calcium chloride is used primarily by highway and road maintenance organizations for dust control and roadbed stabilization during the summer and for de-icing roads and sidewalks during the winter. Given the global nature of the soda ash industry and major soda ash consumers, the Company competes with both international and North American soda ash producers.
