SQM

Chemical & Mining Co of Chile Inc

A global chemical and mining company based in Santiago, Chile, that pulls lithium, iodine, and specialty plant nutrients from the Atacama Desert — the lithium feeding electric-vehicle batteries, the iodine used in disinfectants. Founded in 1968 as a partnership between private investors and the Chilean government, it was privatized starting in 1983. Its Spanish name, Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile, simply means "Chemical and Mining Company of Chile," and it is the world's largest iodine producer.
