We are committed to producing sustainable lithium, a key mineral for the technological revolution underway and fundamental for electromobility that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to face climate change.
We are an innovative company, committed to the environment and part of one of the most important global producers: Albemarle Corporation, based in North Carolina, United States. In Chile, Albemarle Limitada is located in the Antofagasta Region, here our owners are Albemarle US Inc (55%) and Foote Minera e Inversiones Limitada (45%).
In Chile, we produce lithium from brine in the Salar de Atacama, a place of invaluable cultural and environmental importance and in whose territories the Lickanantay people have lived for thousands of years.
Collaboration, dialogue and social value have been key concepts in the development of our company. From Foote Minerals, through Sociedad Chilena del Litio, Rockwood and today, Albemarle, the strategic partnership with the State has proven to be a virtuous alliance that has allowed the generation of a competitive, sustainable industry and that has marked the way for a new form of relationship between company and community.
