K+S Aktiengesellschaft (XETRA: SDF) is a German-based supplier of mineral products, primarily potash and salt, serving agricultural, industrial, pharmaceutical, consumer, and community sectors across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. The companys core offering centers on potassium chloride fertilizers, specialty fertilizers with magnesium and sulfur, and water-soluble fertilizers marketed under numerous brands such as KALISOP, KORN-KALI, and EPSO TOP. Beyond agriculture, K+S produces natural rock salt, high-purity vacuum salt, and mineral salt mixtures for industrial and consumer applications, including table salts (e.g., Cérébos), water softening products, and animal nutrition items (salt licks and livestock minerals).
