Morton Salt

At Morton Salt, we’re passionate about what we do and how we do it. Since 1848, we have been improving lives and enhancing everyday moments – at home, at work and virtually everywhere in between. While most know us for our iconic Morton Salt Umbrella Girl and round blue package of table salt, there is a lot more to Morton. We’re now helping to improve people’s lives in more ways and places than ever before. People trust us to unlock the flavors in food. To make roads and sidewalks safer. To improve the water in baths, pools and homes. To keep business and industry running. And so much more. That’s because we’re a company with vision, drive, and a big heart.

Our team members walk into work every day with a palpable sense of determination. Whether those feet are pounding the streets of Downtown Chicago or stepping down 2,000ft below Lake Erie— we always put our best foot forward.

We take ownership of our work, our businesses, and the communities in which we operate. We are a small but mighty team who constantly strives to do better together. At Morton Salt, there's a pride in our stride.

At Morton Salt, we are passionate about building a sustainable future for our company, the communities in which we operate, and the world around us. We bring this passion to life through a wide range of business, social, safety, quality, and environmental programs that are designed with future generations in mind. We’ve accomplished a lot over the past 175 years, but we know we can do more —and we will.

Morton has always been a champion of the environment, cultural activities, and the community. We get involved in our community’s cultural and civic activities. We organize safety contests with elementary schools. Our team has been featured on sponsored radio broadcasts, giving safety tips to the public.

Above all else, safety comes first. It is our main focus on the job and in the communities around us. In the Safety Journal we learn that we must all work together to make safety a part of everything we do. Our aggressive off-the-job and home safety program has won top honors from the Home Safety Council. Morton Salt Inc. is the ninth company to be accepted for inclusion in OSHA’s Corporate Voluntary Protection Pilot Program (VPP).
