- Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) operates as a global mining and chemical company headquartered in Santiago, Chile, with primary production facilities in the Atacama Desert regions of Tarapacá and Antofagasta. Founded in 1968 through the merger of state-owned nitrate entities, SQM extracts and processes natural resources into specialized products across five core business lines: specialty plant nutrition, including chloride-free potassium nitrate and tailored fertilizer formulations for high-tech agriculture; iodine and derivatives for pharmaceuticals, X-ray contrast media, and LCD screens; lithium and derivatives such as lithium carbonate and hydroxide for electric vehicle batteries and energy storage; potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, and solar salts for agricultural and industrial applications; and industrial chemicals like sodium nitrate, boric acid, and magnesium chloride. The company serves diverse industries worldwide, including agriculture, healthcare, technology, and clean energy, with a global commercial network spanning North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and employs approximately 8,344 people as of late 2024. In a major strategic development, SQM formed a public-private partnership with state-owned Codelco in 2024, creating a joint venture for lithium production in the Salar de Atacama that grants Codelco majority control while allowing SQM to manage operations through 2030 and extending rights to 2060; the agreement, aimed at boosting output to 300,000 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent annually through efficiency gains and new technologies without increased brine extraction, secured final Chinese antitrust approval in November 2025 and awaits Chilean comptroller sign-off for implementation in 2025.
