ICL

Icl Group Ltd.

A global maker of fertilizers, specialty chemicals, and minerals, pulled from the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Its products include potash, bromine, and phosphate-based fertilizers used by farmers and industries worldwide. Founded in 1968 as Israel Chemicals, its roots reach back to 1930, when Siberian engineer Moshe Novomeysky founded Palestine Potash to extract the Dead Sea's salts. Fun fact: the name "potash" comes from the old method of soaking wood ashes in pots to draw out potassium salts.
