We are SQM Iodine Plant Nutrition

We are a global chemical company based in northern Chile that develops unique capabilities that transform resources into life and progress, supplying strategic industries such as health, nutrition, technology and clean energy. Our four business lines are: Specialty Plant Nutrition; Iodine and derivatives; Industrial Chemicals and Potassium.

Our values are Safety, Excellence, Integrity and Challenge. In business for over 50 years, we move forward every day towards innovation and development, transforming our abundant resources into unique solutions for our customers, building trusting relationships based on a firm commitment to excellence.

However, we do not travel this road alone: We consider our ecosystem, care for our environment and seek to create shared value with communities and suppliers around the world.

Our responsible, values-based management and long-term business vision are key to the trust our shareholders place in us.

We face challenges by embracing change with enthusiasm, conviction and commitment. Our teams’ talent and determination are our main driving force. Promoting their development and fostering their well-being are essential to our success.

The year 2024 marked one year since SQM’s strategic restructuring to split our operations into two distinct divisions: Lithium and Iodine Plant Nutrition. This decision not only responded to the unique demands and dynamics of the lithium and potassium markets, but also recognized the specific challenges faced by the Iodine and Plant Nutrition division. This change boosts our market position and lays the foundation for greater operational efficiency and sustainable growth in the future. In an ever-evolving society, we are inspired every day by a shared belief that we develop unique capabilities that transform resources into life and progress.
