About US

The Journey So far

Dicon Salt Limited’s factories were closed in 1988 after a price
war, and were reopened, after nine (9) months. The months
during which the Dicon factory was closed were used in
upgrading the facilities. An ultra-modern salt laboratory was
put in place for all analytical works and the company
embarked on a search for producers of food-grade bulk salt.
The company merged with Union Salt Limited, and was
incorporated in 1991 as Union Dicon Salt Ltd. The then private Company became a Plc and later sold its shares to the public. It was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (“NSE”) on the 23rd of September, 1993.
As at today, Union Dicon Salt Plc. has an authorized
share capital of N300 million corresponding to its
600,000,000 Units at 50k each.
