Cheetham Salt Limited was founded by Richard Cheetham in 1888 in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. After initial clearing of land, the production of salt commenced in 1894 and the company began operations under the name of Richard Cheetham & Company.
With a passion for growth and as a result of increased demand, the company expanded its production within Victoria into South Australia and Queensland. In 1903, the company changed its name to "The Cheetham Salt Proprietary Limited".
Over the next 80 years Cheetham established agreements with a number of salt producers and operators within South Australia and Queensland. In 1992 Ridley Corporation Ltd acquired Cheetham Salt Limited.
Committed to growth and expansion, Cheetham Salt acquired 50% share of Dominion Salt in New Zealand and established an office in Indonesia and Japan as part of Cheetham Salt's international growth strategy.
Today, Cheetham Salt proudly stands as a truly Australian company and is considered the industry benchmark for salt consistency and quality. Our vision is to be the premier provider of value-added solar salt.
