Magadi Soda Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Madagi Soda Company manufactures soda ash near the Kenyan town of Magadi, which is in the southwest of Kenya. The company was founded in 1911 and mines trona from a site near Lake Magadi, in the Rift Valley. The trona is converted by Magadi to soda ash, at a facility near the mining operations, and the soda ash is transported by rail to Mombasa for onward shipping.

Magadi is a subsidiary of Brunner Mond, Imperial Chemical Industries, and of Tata Chemicals, and is headquartered in Magadi, Kenya.
